照片库的 英国电气堪培拉 Mk.20,
The English Electric Canberra is a British first-generation jet-powered medium bomber that was manufactured during the 1950s. It was developed by English Electric during the mid-to-late 1940s in response to a 1944 Air Ministry requirement for a successor to the wartime de Havilland Mosquito fast-bomber; amongst the performance requirements for the type was the demand for an outstanding high altitude bombing capability in addition to flying at high speeds, these were partly accomplished by making use of newly-developed jet propulsion technology. When the Canberra was introduced to service with the Royal Air Force (RAF), the type’s first operator, in May 1951, it became the service’s first jet-powered bomber aircraft.

这 英国电气堪培拉 是英国第一代喷气动力中型轰炸机,于 1950 年代制造。它是由英国电气公司在 1940 年代中后期开发的,以响应 1944 年空军部对战时德哈维兰蚊式快速轰炸机的继任者的要求。该类型的性能要求之一是对出色的高空轰炸能力和高速的需求。这些部分是通过利用新开发的喷气推进技术实现的。1951 年 5 月,堪培拉在皇家空军 (RAF) 服役,这是该机型的第一位运营商,它成为该军种的第一架喷气动力轰炸机。
这 堪培拉 使用寿命长,在许多空军服役了 50 多年。除了作为战术核攻击机外,堪培拉还被证明具有很强的适应性,可以发挥各种作用,例如战术轰炸以及摄影和电子侦察。该机型还由政府飞机制造厂在澳大利亚和马丁在美国作为B-57堪培拉公司许可生产。堪培拉于2006年从英国皇家空军退役,取而代之的是Panavia Tornado和Eurofighter Typhoon。该类型的最后一家运营商是印度空军,它于2007年退役了最后一架堪培拉。
