de Havilland DH.110 Sea Vixen All-Weather Naval Fighter Family
The de Havilland DH.110 began as a two-seat twin-boom jet fighter for an all-weather interception requirement and was later adapted into the carrier-based Sea Vixen for the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm. Its swept-wing research aircraft became a landmark of British naval aviation, including the first two-seat aircraft to exceed the speed of sound in a shallow dive and a long operational career in FAW.1 and FAW.2 form.
