About BAE Sea Harrier
BAE Sea Harrier Military aircraft, photo wallpapers: The BAE Systems Harrier FA2 is the latest development of the Sea Harrier fighter/attack aircraft which entered service with the Royal Navy in April 1980. In 1966 the planned CVA-01 class aircraft carriers were cancelled, apparently ending the Royal Navy's involvement in fixed-wing carrier aviation. However beginning in the early 1970s the first of a new class of "through deck cruisers" was planned, carefully named to avoid the term "aircraft carrier" to increase the chances of funding. These ships would eventually become the Invincible-class aircraft carriers. With little modification, a 'ski-jump' was added to the end of the 170 m deck, the carriers could operate a small number of STOVL jets.
FRS.Mk 1: The RAF's Hawker-Siddeley Harrier GR1s had entered service in April 1969. In 1975 the Royal Navy ordered 34 Sea Harrier FRS.1s, the first of which entered service in 1978. In total 57 FRS.1s were delivered between 1978 and 1988. The FRS.1 was largely based on the Harrier GR.3, but was modified to have a "bubble" canopy (to give better visiblity for the air defence role) and an extended forward fuselage to accommodate the Ferranti (now BAE Systems) Blue Fox radar. The Sea Harriers and HMS Invincible, commissioned on July 11, 1980, were operational during the Falklands War of 1982. The Sea Harriers were to operate in their primary air defence role, with the RAF GR.3 expected to act as attrition replacements for the Sea Harriers. However the Sea Harriers claimed 24 kills with no losses in air combat (two were destroyed in a mid-air collision) and the RAF fleet was free to operate in their primary ground attack role. The dominance of the Sea Harrier over the theoretically equal or superior Argentinian Mirage III and Mirage V Daggers surprised many. It should be noted that the disparity in figures, with the Argentinian fighters failing to shoot down a single Sea Harrier, was due to a number of factors including the...
