CF-105 Arrow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "The Avro CF-105 Arrow was a delta-wing interceptor aircraft, designed and built by Avro Aircraft Ltd. in Malton, Ontario, Canada, as the culmination of a design study that began in 1953. Emerging in 1957 in the shadow of the Sputnik launch and a government reappraisal of air defense needs, the Avro Arrow faced an uncertain future. After beginning its flight test program in 1958, the first five examples were undergoing proving and service evaluation trials when the CF-105 Arrow, and its accompanying Orenda Iroquois jet engine program, was abruptly cancelled in 1959, sparking a long and bitter political debate."
