What is the Avro Arrow?
The Avro Arrow was a twin engine, supersonic interceptor developed in the late 1950’s by the Avro Aircraft company of Malton, Ontario, Canada. The Arrow was the follow on to Avro’s first military design, the highly succesful CF-100 Canuck, a twin engine all weather interceptor sold to the Royal Canadian Air Force (600+) and to Belgium (53). The Avro company had whet its teeth building the C.102 Jetliner (the first jet airliner to fly in North America), the CF-100 Canuck, and the AvroCar.
