The British Aircraft Corporation TSR-2 (for "Tactical Strike and Reconnaissance 2") var et aflyst angrebs- og rekognosceringsfly fra den kolde krig udviklet af British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) for Royal Air Force (RAF) i slutningen af 1950'erne og begyndelsen af 1960'erne. TSR-2 var designet til at trænge ind i et velforsvaret fremskudt kampområde i lave højder og meget høje hastigheder og derefter angribe mål af høj værdi bagi med atomvåben eller konventionelle våben. En anden tiltænkt kamprolle var at levere højhøjde, højhastighedsstand-off, sidevendt radar og fotografiske billeder og signalefterretninger og luftrekognoscering. Kun ét flystel fløj, og testflyvninger og vægtstigning under designet indikerede, at flyet ikke ville være i stand til at opfylde sine oprindelige strenge designspecifikationer. Designspecifikationerne blev reduceret som følge af flyvetest.

General Characteristics and Role

The BAC TSR-2 (Tactical Strike and Reconnaissance, Mach 2) was an ambitious, highly advanced Cold War aircraft developed for the Royal Air Force (RAF) to replace the English Electric Canberra. Designed under the extensive General Operational Requirement 339 (GOR.339), it was intended to be an all-weather, long-range tactical strike and reconnaissance aircraft capable of operating at both high altitude (Mach 2+) and extremely low altitude (Mach 1.2) using terrain following radar. The project was controversially cancelled in 1965 despite promising flight test results.

Højde	7.32 m (24 ft)
Maximum Takeoff Weight	Approx. 46,357 kg (102,200 lb)

Powerplant and Performance

Engines: Two Bristol Siddeley Olympus 22R Mark 320 afterburning turbojet engines.
Maximum Thrust (with afterburner): 136.7 kN (30,610 lbf) per engine.
Maximum Speed (High Altitude): Mach 2.15 to Mach 2.35 (Planned).
Maximum Speed (Low Level): Mach 1.1 to Mach 1.2 (Planned, for terrain following).
Ferry Range: Approx. 5,000 km (3,100 mi) with external tanks and in-flight refueling capability.
Low-Level Combat Radius: Approx. 1,000 nmi (1,850 km) operating at Mach 0.9.
Takeoff Requirement: Designed for short take-off and landing (STOL) capability, aiming for takeoff runs of around 490 meters (1,600 feet) from rough strips using blown flaps.
Key Technology: Advanced terrain following radar for high-speed, low-altitude penetration.

Armament and Avionics

Internal Armament: One large internal bomb bay.
- Internal Payload: Up to 2,720 kg (6,000 lb).
- Weapons: Could carry one large nuclear weapon (like the Red Beard) or multiple smaller tactical nuclear weapons (WE.177) or six 1,000 lb conventional bombs.
External Armament: Four underwing pylons.
- External Payload: Up to 4,500 kg (10,000 lb).
- Weapons: Could carry additional conventional bombs, WE.177 nuclear weapons, or air-to-surface missiles like the AS.37 Martel.
Built-in Armament: None.
Avionics: Included an advanced automatic navigation system, Doppler radar, and the terrain following radar essential for its low-level strike role.
