The Avro Arrow remains an icon of Canadian aviation history. It is featured in books, television programs, paintings and films. First and last supersonic interceptor designed and built in Canada; developed between 1953 and 1959. Developed to counter jet-powered Soviet bombers that had potential to attack North America via the Canadian Arctic. First flight was on March 25th, 1958. Intended to replace the Avro Canada CF-100 Canuck, the CF-105 Arrow was a technical masterpiece at the forefront of aviation engineering during its time. The Canadian government believed, however, that the manned bomber threat was diminishing and that the Arrow was too expensive. The contract was cancelled on February 20, 1959 while test flying was still in progress, a decision that remains controversial today. By then five Arrows had flown. The government ordered all completed Arrows, related documentation, and equipment destroyed. The “30 years” on the sweatshirt may refer to first flight of the aircraft, in March 1958, or the cancellation of the aircraft, in February 1959. Mind you, it could refer to the unveiling of the Arrow, in October 1957. L'aéronef Avro Arrow est aujourd'hui considéré comme étant une légende dans l'histoire de l'aviation canadienne. Son histoire est représentée dans des livres, émissions de télévisions, peintures et des films. L'Avro Arrow était le premier et le dernier intercepteur conçu et bâti au Canada, développé entre les années 1953 et 1959. Il a été développé pour contrer les bombardiers soviétiques qui avaient le potentiel d'attaquer l'Amérique du nord en passant par l'Arctique canadienne. Son premier envolé était le 25 mars 1958. Il était conçu pour remplacer le Avro Canada CF-100. Le CF-105 était considéré comme étant un grand accomplissement technologique à l'avant-plan du génie aérien de l'époque. Par contre, le gouvernement canadien croyait que la menace de bombardier étranger était réduite et que ce Avro Arrow CF-105 serait beaucoup trop dispendieux. Le contrat a été annulé le 20 février 1959 lorsque les tests étaient encore en place. Ce fut une décision controversée. Dès 1959, cinq Arrows ont eu la chance de voler. Le gouvernement a donc ordonné que tous les Arrows, ainsi que l'équipement et documents associés, sois détruits. Le "30 years" sur le devant du chandail pourrait faire référence au premier vol de cet aéronef en mars 1958, ou bien l'annulation de l'aéronef en février 1959. Ceci dit, ceci pourrait aussi faire référence au dévoilement du Arrow en octobre 1957.
Function
Shirt used as a marketing tool. The sweatshirt offered to the corporation was produced as a souvenir. Chemise est conçu en tant qu'outil de marketing. La chemise offerte à la Société a été produit en tant que souvenir.
Technical
The Avro Arrow was fitted with innovative technologies, including a fly-by-wire control system and a computerized control system that allowed the pilot to operate the aircraft electronically. Sleek, elegant, and the stuff of mythology, the Avro Arrow is still alive in print and in memory. The Arrow met most of its performance requirements while flying with less powerful engines. One of the Canadian-made Iroquois engine designed for the Arrow was flight-tested attached to the rear fuselage of a Boeing B-47, but never powered the Arrow. At 28 tons, the Arrow was equivalent in weight to its ancient Avro distant relative, the Second World War era Lancaster bomber. L'Avro Arrow CF-105 a été conçu avec des technologies innovatrices, incluant un système de contrôle de commandes de vol électrique et un système informatisé qui permet au pilote d'opérer l'aéronef de façon électrique. Élégant et estéthiquement propre, le CF-105 vie encore dans la mémoire collective ainsi que dans des représentations. Il a atteint la plupart des exigences de performance en vol avec un moteur moins puissant. Un des moteurs conçus pour l'Arrow, l'Iroquois bâti au Canada, était attaché au fuselage arrière d'un Boeing B-47 mais n'a jamais alimenté l'Arrow. À 28 tonnes, l'Arrow était équivalent en poids à son ancêtre, le bombardier Lancaster de la période de la seconde guerre mondiale.
