similar to the su-25.
-
Hard to believe Canada built almost 700 of these aircraft, and not one is flying anymore.
-
Too bad there is not a flying one today. I saw a F-86 Sabre-Jet with the Orenda engine and it was pretty cool.
-
the tail span looks to be the same as an F-104 wingspan
-
@avrocar To be honest, i can see this plane in the A10
-
It was a 1950's plane, so swept wings were still not used on all/for all planes. This was designed as an interceptor, very capable to counter slow bombers, straight wings for fast planes are not uncommon (Gloster Meteor). Canada also had the CF105 in develpoment and the Canadair Sabre for air combat.
-
Strait wings? What was it going to intercept? A weather baloon. Clearly worthy for ground attack though.
-
@avrocar the lockheed f-94 starfire was in the same group
-
@synthfreakify , during startup in really cold weather the engines would shoot flames out the end of the tail pipes, very cool to watch but not how it is supposed to work. Combustion is supposed to happen before the turbine, not after.

I read a book called "Learning to Love the Bomb" that said Canada had status as a world power until Trudeau drastically downsized the Armed Forces in 1972. We actually had respect! I thought of that as I watched this video. Airmen from other countries must have found the CF-100 interesting.

Wasn't this supposed to be our frontline against a Soviet Invasion whom at the time where operating the MiG-9 or MiG-13?

The CF-100 had a specific role as an all-weather bomber interceptor whereas air superiority fighters such as the F-86s stationed at Marville (and other NATO equivalents) would have countered the MiG-15 / MiG-19 threat.

Also the Northrop F-89 Scorpion - a lot of designers were coming up with the same solution to accomodate bulky radar gear in the nose.
