Canadian Fighter Interceptors we

CF-100 Canauck
CF-101B Voodoo
CF-18 Hornet (Current)

CF-105 Arrow (Made by Avro)

The arrow was developed and 5 made with the J-75 engine but it never
went into service.

As I recall (I was in ADC) it was basically a cost problem to
manufacture so they bought our F-101B Interceptor which was twin
engine two place like they wanted.

You can read about it's development at

Long dissertation but if you are interested in supersonic aircraft
design it's written in language that a man on the street can
understand.

Over a cup of coffee and reading this brings up one I had forgotten about and
can not remember the name of. It has to do with a Canadian company coming up
with a new design for a jet. It was based on a true story during the 60's. Any
off our frozen Canuck friends remember the name?
