CF-288 Interceptor
Following on the success of the CF-101 Arrow program. Avro continued research into interceptors that could go higher and faster. Research into small atomic and fusion reactors also culminated in the invention of the Scarlett engine designed by the Husband and Wife team of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson. Avro took this engine and created the CF-288 Angel interceptor. With the space savings realized by the Scarlett engine, they were able to make a very compact airframe capable of high speeds and altitudes for its intercept role. The Angel set many records including time to altitude and top speed records. The Angel was also exported to the RAF for interceptor duties for NATO.
