CF-105 Arrow RCAF: Avro Canada was created in December 1945, when the British Avro acquired the National Steel Car factory that had been building its Lancaster bombers during WWII. After WWII, Avro Canada designed a number of aircrafts. The CF-100 "Canuck" a transsonic straight-wing all-weather fighter was the most successful one and 692 were built, including 53 for Belgium, between 1950 and 1958. In 1954 Avro Canada came under governement control, with an aircraft division and an engine division. The Avrov CF-105 Arrow was designed and developed by Avro Aircraft Limited in Malton Ontario Canada. The CF-105 Arrow was the product of the study that began in 1953. The Avrov CF-105 Arrow was a delta wing interceptor aircraft and also considered as advanced technical and aerodynamic achievement for the Canadian aviation industry. The first flight test program of CF-105 was held in 1958. The Avrov CF-105 Arrow was the first all-Canadian designed and built interceptor that became the country’s standard all weather fighter for several years. The structure of Avrov CF-105 Arrow was undoubtedly conventional. The outer wing of Avrov CF-105 consisted of multispar boxbeams with ribs and heavily machined and tapered skins leading to the main spars. The inner wing consisted of a main torsion box containing spars, ribs and machined skins. The wings, fuselage, vertical stabilizer and control surfaces were constructed of several metal alloys.
