Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow Supersonic Interceptor Family

The Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow was a two-seat, all-weather supersonic interceptor developed in Malton for Canada's Cold War air-defence requirement. Its large tailless delta wing and advanced control systems pushed Canadian aircraft engineering to the forefront, but the federal government cancelled the programme in 1959 before the Arrow entered operational service.
