4:04 Wow, never knew that engine layouts like these existed even as prototypes or on papers. I guess the funny engine layouts of the jetfighters in Thunderbirds show weren't entirely fantastical after all
There were several more proposed and partially tested variants including thinner wings for higher Mach numbers, reheated engines, etc. (see book by Ron D. Page).
That was pretty interesting! glad I found this video and your channel, gotta thank the giant claw that's as big as a battleship (it had a CF-100 stockfootage in it)
Hello Polyus Studios. I am interested in the history of Avro Canada, and I was wondering if you could tell me what books you used for your research? From a fellow aviation enthusiast from Edmonton. Thank you very much!
Don't know if this was ever answered, but during high school, I read "Shutting Down the National Dream: A.V. Roe and the Tragedy the Avro Arrow", written by Greg Stewart, the son of one of the union leaders who was given a pink slip, with a forward from Jan Zurakowski, who was the pre-eminent test pilot flying Avro machines; particularly the CF-100 Canuck and the CF-105 Arrow. There were excerpts from interviews with all the major players in there, including CD Howe (who was generally responsible for procurement of the CF-100), and advised the government to nix the CF-105 program, Diefenbaker, and all top management and engineers at Avro. Had a real "fly on the wall" feel about what went on with it. A lot had to do with (a) the many mistakes and revisions required of the CF-100, which took away Howe's confidence in the CF-105, and (b) the MASSIVE cost overruns for the Arrow program. The Arrow comes in only in the last 1/3rd of the book; the bulk is devoted to the development of A.V. Roe, and later Avro Aerospace; particulary the CF-100 and the Orenda engine. You really have to understand the history of A.V. Roe to explain a lot of why the Arrow was cancelled (ostensibly, anyway).
Hey, really enjoy your channel. I'd even say that it's because of you that the cf-100 is my favourite jet. Say, can you tell me what is the name of the music? Things like that should be in the description of the video for curious people like me. Have a good day from Québec.
Love this video and all your Canadian aviation vids. Wanted to flag for you the need to check the thrust values on the proposed transition to a four-engined architecture. 224 N of thrust each is about 900N total, which is less than my weight. That is not very good and cant be right. kN doesn't fit either. Awkward unit, Newtons.
Hope you keep this cello music, it's such a signature of your channel
One of the best channels on RUclips
Interesting correlation of the vtol Canuck and the harrier program...
Merci BRAD !..Pour m"être a notre disposition ton vidéo , il vas m'être tres utile a mon project maquette d''AVRO CANADA .. !.....Jmarc

Grandfather flew the CF-100. Was one of his favorite planes
I don't think he did 😭
Once again another great upload.
Thank you ............👍

I really liked this video. I didn't know these proposed variants existed (even in theory)
Great video!

@@polyus_studios Oh my bad, thanks
Neat airplane!

Looks a bit like a b57
nuCLEAR, not nuCULAR
Great videos, but vary the music. Well you could remove it altogether, or at least lower the sound. It gets annoying when I watch more than one video.
