Abstract
An assessment of the performance characteristics of the proposed A.V. Roe C-105/1200 All-weather Supersonic Fighter Aircraft has been undertaken by the Aerodynamics Laboratory of the National Aeronautical Establishment upon request from the Royal Canadian Air Force. It is found that considerable differences exist between the present analysis and the A.V. Roe analysis with respect to the drag and performance characteristics of the aircraft. Contrary to the A.V. Roe design studies, and the conclusions reached by the Company on the basis of the recent subsonic and transonic wind tunnel test results, it is found that the aircraft fails to meet the R.C.A.F. specifications for minimum combat performance and combat radius of action. The differences between the two supersonic drag estimates account for the major differences in performance and extensive supersonic wind tunnel tests are probably required before these differences can be decisively resolved.
