Britanska letalska korporacija TSR-2 (za "Tactical Strike and Reconnaissance 2") je bilo preklicano napadalno in izvidniško letalo iz obdobja hladne vojne, ki ga je razvila British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) za Royal Air Force (RAF) v poznih 1950-ih in zgodnjih 1960-ih. TSR-2 je bil zasnovan za prodor v dobro branjeno bojno območje na nizkih višinah in zelo visokih hitrostih, nato pa napad na cilje visoke vrednosti v zaledju z jedrskim ali konvencionalnim orožjem. Druga predvidena bojna vloga je bila zagotavljanje radarskih in fotografskih posnetkov na visoki nadmorski višini, visoke hitrosti, stranskih radarskih in fotografskih posnetkov ter obveščevalnih podatkov, zračnega izvidništva. Letelo je samo eno ogrodje, testni leti in dvig teže med načrtovanjem pa so pokazali, da letalo ne bo moglo izpolniti svojih prvotnih strogih konstrukcijskih specifikacij. Konstrukcijske specifikacije so bile zmanjšane zaradi testiranja letenja.

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.

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.
