A tour of the AVRO Museum. The AVRO ARROW 2 is a 60% scale model of the 1950s Canadian Avro Arrow CF-105 fighter plane. Set to fly in 2024. #avro #arrow #history
funny part about the avro arrow and advanced aircraft ... in 1957 the sr 71 project began ... in feb 1959 avro closed its doors ...mar 1959 sr71 still given as a swept wing aircraft almost canceld .... 1961 delta wing blended body large use of titanium and other composites a cockpit canopy desinged for maximum penetration at high mach number with n mostly enclosed navigator position ... that both pilot and navigator section exactly match the arrow's even the arrow with the iroquois engine was expected to do mach 2.8 the sr-71 was mach 3.1 with scramjet engines ..... the iroquois engine was performing 10% over calculated theory ... so the arrow would have been equal in speed to the sr71 using turbine jet engines ... . yet the arrow gets cancelled just in time to save the sr71 project and make the second best plane in the world by using everything the new arrow engineers knew about delta wing s and titanium manufacturing and alloys and radar cross section ...etc ... and yes the arrow was about the same radar size as 2/3rds of a cf104 ... the sr71 was a little more than half the size yet the arrow was almost double the size of the cf 104 and the sr71 was double and a bit .... so even stealth was part of the arrow ...
Lots of guess work and no evidence. So the idea is that the same engineers behind Arrow took their expertise to Lockheed, resulting in the A-12? Is that it? The A-12 looks and flies nothing like Arrow, which means either that Canadian engineers were not involved in the A-12, or that their information was of no value to Lockheed....or anyone else. Oddly enough, Arrow never reached Mach 2, while the A-12 was a mach 3 airplane, and had much longer range. The A-12 flew in 1962, and the British rejected Arrow because it wasn't likely to be ready for the RAF before that year. So, no, Arrow had nothing to do with A-12 or SR-71.
in a perfect world that would be the way to go ... but sadly money is tight and people are hard to part from their money ... so things cost more people are spending less time is short ... so instead of spending 3 times as long for full sclae ... lets do 1/6th and take less time and do a better job
Thank you for the tour. I am a member of the museum and hope to get there someday. I live in the US.
knowledgeable little tour guide
impressive yes

.
yet the arrow gets cancelled just in time to save the sr71 project and make the second best plane in the world by using everything the new arrow engineers knew about delta wing s and titanium manufacturing and alloys and radar cross section ...etc ... and yes the arrow was about the same radar size as 2/3rds of a cf104 ... the sr71 was a little more than half the size yet the arrow was almost double the size of the cf 104 and the sr71 was double and a bit .... so even stealth was part of the arrow ...
I don't know what the above means but it sure sounds impressive.

is it true theirs one avro arrow left someone barn?
@@randomrazr you find the barn, then you'll know it's true.
Why mess around with 60%? For the same labour and a few mor materials it could be full sized.

They may have committed to the powerplant, which is low power, and imposes size and weight limits.
