Avro CF-105 Arrow conceptual drawing. Specifications called for a fighter that could take off from an 1,830 metre (6,000-foot) runway, with a range of 1,111 kilometres (600 nautical miles), capable of accelerating to Mach 1.5 with a crew of two, while carrying a very advanced type of missile. Following detection of an enemy bomber, sustained supersonic speed would be required to make interception possible.
