Galerie de photos d’un Avro Vulcain B2, The Avro Vulcan (officially Hawker Siddeley Vulcan from July 1963) is a jet-powered delta wing strategic bomber, which was operated by the Royal Air Force (RAF) from 1956 until 1984. Aircraft manufacturer A.V. Roe and Company (Avro) designed the Vulcan in response to Specification B.35/46. Of the three V bombers produced, the Vulcan was considered the most technically advanced and hence the riskiest option. Several scale aircraft, designated Avro 707, were produced to test and refine the delta wing design principles.

Plus d’infos:

The Avro Vulcan B2 was a strategic bomber developed by the British company A.V. Roe and Company (Avro) in the 1950s and 1960s. It was the second and final variant of the Vulcan, which was designed to carry nuclear weapons as part of the Royal Air Forces V bomber force during the Cold War. The B2 had several improvements over the earlier B1, such as a larger and more powerful wing, more advanced engines, an electronic countermeasures (ECM) suite, and a longer range. The B2 also had the capability to carry conventional bombs and missiles, such as the Blue Steel stand-off nuclear missile, the Skybolt air-launched ballistic missile (ALBM), and the Shrike anti-radar missile. The B2 entered service in 1960 and was retired in 1984, after being replaced by the Panavia Tornado. The B2 was the last of the V bombers to be withdrawn from service, and the only one to see combat, during the Falklands War in 1982. The B2 was also known for its distinctive delta wing shape and loud engine noise, which earned it the nickname « Le triangle d’étain ».
