Re: Why do we always re-engineer our aircraft??
[QUOTE=pr00ne]WorkingHard,
No-one builds the Harrier anywhere any more, if you mean the AV-8B and the UK GR5/7, they were a co-operative programme between the US and UK with the UK providing the fuselage, tailplane, undercarriage, engine and ejection seat, the US providing the wing and nose and each providing its own specific avionics. They were assembled on two final assembly lines, one in the US and one in the UK.

Armour produce a good range of Harriers a little small but still good!
One point of the quote" UK providing the Fuselage" yes the UK did provide a large part of the fuselage but only as far as the engine bay.
