Supermarine Scimitar Naval Strike Fighter Family
The Supermarine Scimitar was a twin-engine British naval strike family developed from Supermarine's postwar swept-wing research. The Type 544 prototype flew in 1956, and the production aircraft introduced a powerful low-level carrier strike capability to the Fleet Air Arm while pioneering blown flying controls and other demanding deck-operation technologies.
