Product Description

[About TSR-2]
- In 1956, the Royal Air Force put forward an exaggerated demand to develop a bomber that was capable of all-weather capability, short take-off and landing over rough terrain, low-altitude supersonic speeds, and the ability to carry nuclear weapons.
- While British aircraft manufacturers submitted design proposals, a joint plan between Vickers and English Electric was finally adopted, and development began in 1957.
- However, development ran into difficulties, and as a result of using a number of new materials and new technologies, the development cost of the bomber exceeded the original budget.
- Nevertheless, it made its first flight in 1964 and had good results during flight tests.
- However, the political party that had denounced the budget overrun came to power, and in 1965 the development was halted and the prototype was banned from flying.
