Britanska letalska korporacija TSR-2 (for “tactical strike and reconnaissance 2”) was a cancelled Cold War strike and reconnaissance aircraft developed by the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) for the Royal Air Force (RAF) in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The TSR-2 was designed to penetrate a well-defended forward battle area at low altitudes and very high speeds, and then attack high-value targets in the rear with nuclear or conventional weapons. Another intended combat role was to provide high-altitude, high-speed stand-off, side-looking radar and photographic imagery and signals intelligence, aerial reconnaissance. Only one airframe flew and test flights and weight-rise during design indicated that the aircraft would be unable to meet its original stringent design specifications. The design specifications were reduced as the result of flight testing.

BAC TSR-2 je bilo odpovedano stavkovno in izvidniško letalo iz hladne vojne, ki ga je razvila britanska letalska korporacija (BAC) za Royal Air Force (RAF) v poznih 1950-ih in zgodnjih 1960-ih. TSR-2 je bil zasnovan tako, da prodre v dobro zaščitena frontna območja na nizkih nadmorskih višinah in zelo visokih hitrostih, nato pa napade cilje visoke vrednosti v zadnjih območjih s konvencionalnim ali jedrskim orožjem. Prav tako je bil sposoben visokogorskih, hitrih izvidniških misij z naprednimi senzorji in kamerami. TSR-2 je bilo zelo napredno in kompleksno letalo s krilom spremenljive geometrije, močnim radarjem, sistemom za sledenje terenu, elektronskim paketom protiukrepov in prefinjenim navigacijskim računalnikom in računalnikom za usmerjanje orožja.
The TSR-2 was powered by two Bristol Siddeley Olympus 22R turbojet engines with afterburners, giving it a maximum speed of over Mach 2. The TSR-2 had a large internal bomb bay and four underwing pylons for carrying up to 4.5 tonnes of ordnance. The TSR-2 project faced many technical and political challenges, as well as rising costs and inter-service rivalry. Only one prototype flew, making 24 test flights between September 1964 and March 1965. The project was controversially cancelled in April 1965 by the Labour government, which decided to order an adapted version of the American General Dynamics F-111 instead. However, this decision was also reversed later, leaving the RAF without a suitable replacement for its ageing Canberra bombers. The TSR-2 remains one of the most famous examples of a cancelled British aircraft project, and a symbol of the decline of the British aerospace industry in the 1960s.
