I have been fascinated by this aircraft since I was 12, and saw a mockup of the plane in Ottawa
Was the discontinuation of the avro arrow, and the destruction of all working prototypes a conspiracy by the United States, Lockheed and Boeing
It makes sense the arrow was built in the mid - late 50's before the program was halted in 59 It was the cutting edge of aviation technology it had a range of 300 nautical miles, could cruise at mach 1.5, pull 2g maneuvers without losing speed or altitude, and could get from 0 to 50,000 feet and mach 1.5 in less than 5 minutes it was better than anything the united states had built at the time
Did Douchenbaker sell out to the Americans?
Shutting down the Arrow was mutually benifical for the United States, and lockeed and boeing,
The U.S. could ensure that the Royal Canadian Air Force was not on equal footing with the USAF to ensure their superiority, and lockheed and boeing would not lose thier military contracts to avro
