The Sea Harrier, specifically the FA2 variant, was a British naval fighter known for its versatility in air-to-air combat and ground attack roles. One of its key armaments was the Sea Eagle missile, an anti-ship weapon designed to target enemy vessels from a safe distance. The Sea Eagle featured a sophisticated radar seeker, allowing the Sea Harrier to engage naval targets effectively, even in challenging conditions. The combination of the Sea Harrier's vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) capabilities and the precision of the Sea Eagle missile made it a formidable asset for the Royal Navy, especially during conflicts like the Falklands War. Designed to meet a NATO specification for a light tactical support fighter that was also capable of Vertical/Short Takeoff and Landing (V/STOL), the Harrier first flew in 1960. This unique aircraft has the distinction of being the only successful V/STOL design out of the many that were put forth during the 1960s. There are four different versions of the Harrier, which uses thrust vectoring to achieve V/STOL: the first generation Hawker Siddeley Harrier, the Naval strike/air defense BAE Sea Harrier, the US AV-8B Harrier II variant and the British BAE Harrier II. The Harrier was produced between 1969 and 2003. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
