British fighter-interceptor developed in the mid-1950s. Produced in more than 14 versions. According to a number of parameters, it is one of the most unusual and outstanding aircraft in the history of the British aircraft industry. The first serial military aircraft capable of cruising supersonic flight without the use of afterburner. The last of the single-seat supersonic fighters developed and put into service in the UK. The main advantage of the aircraft was its high speed (in the UK, where the time for warning is minimal, speed is the most important parameter). Its main disadvantage was the complexity of maintenance.
