Description
Heralded in the 1950s as “the symbol of a new era for Canada in the air,” the Avro CF-105 Arrow was one of this nation’s greatest aeronautic achievements, its impressive altitude and Mach-2 speed capabilities making it one of the most advanced supersonic interceptor jets of its time. It captured the imagination of the Canadian public and, long after the project’s cancellation in 1959, the Arrow lives on as a delta-winged symbol of Canadian ingenuity and technical achievement. HST/GST Exempt.
The Design:
Celebrate an iconic piece of Canadian aviation history! The reverse design shows the first Arrow, RL-201, flying over Lake Ontario, while the outline engraved incuse on the water invokes the scale models that were launched over those very waters as part of the development process.
