Čaj Gloster Javelin is a twin-engined T-tailed delta-wing subsonic night and all-weather interceptor aircraft that served with Britain’s Royal Air Force from the mid-1950s until the late 1960s. The last aircraft design to bear the Gloster name, it was introduced in 1956 after a lengthy development period and received several upgrades during its lifetime to its engines, radar and weapons, including support for the De Havilland Firestreak air-to-air missile. The Javelin was succeeded in the interceptor role by the English Electric Lightning, a supersonic aircraft capable of flying at more than double the Javelin’s top speed, which was introduced into the RAF only a few years later. The Javelin served for much of its life alongside the Lightning; the last Javelins were withdrawn from operational service in 1968 following the introduction of successively more capable versions of the Lightning.

Čaj Gloster Meteor bio je prvi britanski mlazni borbeni avion i jedini mlazni avion saveznika koji je postigao borbene operacije tokom Drugog svetskog rata. Razvoj Meteora se u velikoj meri oslanjao na svoje prizemne turbojet motore, koje su pionirali Ser Frenk Vitl i njegova kompanija Power Jets Ltd. Razvoj aviona počeo je 1940. godine, iako su radovi na motorima bili u toku od 1936. godine. Meteor je prvi put leteo 1943. Meteor nije bio sofisticiran avion u svojoj aerodinamici, ali se pokazao kao uspešan borbeni borac. Glosterov civilni meteor F.4 demonstrator G-AIDC iz 1946 bio je prvi civilno registrovani mlazni avion na svetu
