Special training is necessary to fly this 'Jump Jet' so pilots are picked carefully. The AV-8B is a greatly improved version of the original Harrier from the British. The AV-8B can deliver an awesome array of weapons including Sidewinders, Napalm and Snakeye bombs. Top speed of the Harrier II is under 700mph.
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 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
