British Aircraft Corporation TSR2. "All modern aircraft have four dimensions: span, length, height and politics. TSR2 simply got the first three right." The TSR2 story is one of incompetence, mismanagement and failure. It is also a story of brilliance, determination and courage. It may sound crazy, but these are not mutually exclusive.

The British Aircraft Corporation TSR-2 is a British military aircraft. It was a bomber project for the Royal Air Force. It was designed and built to carry a nuclear bomb. It was powered by the same kind of turbojets as the Concorde. Only one prototype was flown. This short article about the military can be made longer.

The brilliant British bomber that never was: BAC TSR-2 In 1951, Britain introduced the English Electric Canberra. Designed to operate at high level, it would go onto become the RAF's longest serving machine. It was an incredibly efficient aircraft, but by the late 1950s everything changed.
The TSR2, probably Birtain's most controversial (and for the time
The TSR-2 was initially a product of the English Electric and Vickers-Armstrong aviation concerns with the primary aim of replacing English Electric Canberras as Britain's principle long-range, low-level supersonic bomber (as well as possibly the entire family of nuclear-capable "V-Bombers").

The TSR-2 was a very long (89ft) slim aircraft with a shoulder-mounted delta wing and turned down wing tips. Power was provided by two Bristol Siddeley Olympus 320 engines equipped with afterburners. The tandem main wheel units retracted into the fuselage, allowing a very thin wing to be fitted.

British Aircraft Corporation TSR 2 Although never developed beyond the prototype stage, the British Aircraft Corporation TSR2 was one of the most exciting and controversial British combat aircraft designs of the 1960s. The cancellation of the project is a subject of great debate to this day.

The TSR-2 nuclear strike aircraft was the last major military aircraft programme undertaken by the British aircraft industry. Its long and costly development culminated in its termination in 1965. That cancellation remains controversial to this day and the aircraft and its related programme are frequent subjects in the specialist aviation press.

The British Aircraft Corporation TSR-2 is a cancelled Cold War strike and reconnaissance aircraft developed by the British Aircraft Corporation , for the Royal Air Force in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The TSR-2 was designed around both conventional and nuclear weapons delivery: it was to penetrate well-defended frontline areas at low altitudes and very high speeds, and then attack high.
