The Avro CF-105 Arrow was an all-weather, high-altitude interceptor aircraft, designed and built by Avro Canada) as the culmination of a design study that began during the Cold War. This revolutionary two-seat, twin-engine aircraft used computer control and 'fly by wire' technology, and featured a delta wing design that had the advantage of allowing for the wing's leading edge to remain behind the shock wave created by the aircraft's nose when flying at supersonic speeds.
Now you can experience first-hand the performance of an aircraft in which the advanced systems and cockpit ergonomics proved quite a challenge for the test pilots who flew them fifty years ago!
This package contains five variations of the Avro CF-105 Arrow Mk. 1 equipped with two Pratt & Whitney J75-P-5 turbojet engines and one variation of the Arrow Mk. 2, equipped with two mighty Orenda PS-13 'Iroquois' turbojet engines.
The detailed aircraft models are all based on available archive material, and the package comes with 3D virtual cockpits, special effects, a 60-page PDF manual, ten saved flights and many more features.

60-page PDF manual (English & French).
Flights
10 saved flights based on Arrow test flights or fictitious but anticipated missions.
"A top quality product, carefully researched and crafted with a high degree of accuracy... faithfully reproduces the six prototypes that existed... The manual is a good accurate read and to be commended for size and detail... Where else can you buy a prototype of the Arrow, produced in a good quality package including a 61 page manual, well finished and realistic in the handling and moving parts, with an accurate cockpit?"
