CF-200 Muskrat
De Havilland Canada’s entry in the RCAF’s contract for the next generation of strike aircraft was the CF-200 Muskrat. Rumoured to be heavily influenced by an aerospace engineer who defected from the USSR. The Cf-200 approached the stealth issue in a different way than the CF-199 Panther. Radar absorbing panels at sharp angles help deflect the radar beams. In the end, the Muskrat lost the contract to the Panther but two were retained by the RCAF as test beds.
