Video Avro CF100

Published on Jun 21, 2012 by ve3iku

The AVRO CF-100 was the first conventional winged aircraft to break the sound barrier.
Designed and made in Canada. On December 18, 1952, S/L Janusz Zurakowski, the Avro company chief development test pilot, took the CF-100 Mk 4 prototype to Mach 1.0 in a dive from 30,000 ft. being the first straight-winged jet aircraft to achieve controlled supersonic flight.

Canada's physicists and aeronautical engineers were laid of from AVRO and went to work for NASA and gave their expertise there for the space program. Canada really was armed to the teeth and truly was a superpower back then (with help from the British from the Spitfire and Hurricane evolutions after WWII).

AVRO was Canada's largest aircraft manufacturer, and in its prior form of Victory Aircraft Ltd. in WWII and earlier, was a cover company for top secret research. Purposely funded by Great Britain, Canada was once destined to be THE superpower of the world in aeronautics. It's a shame what happened to this plan. Proud to be a Canadian engineer.
