The correct answer is the CF-105 Avro Arrow. The Avro Arrow was born out of the neccessity for the protection of Canada. During the height of the Cold War (1950’s) era, the soviets had introduced new long range bombers, that were capable of flying over the North Pole to attack North America. This was a very serious threat as the continent lived in fear of a surprise nuclear attack. Its role was to replace the Avro Canada CF-100 Canuck as a supersonic all weather interceptor, a sub mach aircraft not capable of filling this need so the design of the CF-105 Avro Arrow was implemented in 1953. Production was started and less then 4 years later, the Arrow was completed. Roll out was October 4, 1957. First flight was March 25 1958.
