The Avro 720 was an in-development British single-seat interceptor of the 1950s. It was designed and being developed by Avro in competition with the Saunders-Roe-built SR.53. While at least one prototype was partially-constructed, the order for the Avro 720, and quickly thereafter the project entirely, was terminated prior to any aircraft having been completed. The Avro 720 was a planned British single-seat interceptor of the 1950s. It was to be of mixed propulsion, with a rocket engine to give high performance and a small jet engine for cruising flight. At least one prototype was ordered, but the project was cancelled before any were completed. Contents 1 Design and development #1 I'm new to this great site and this is my first post. Does anyone have any pictures or profiles of the Avro 720 mixed-power interceptor? (Not the Avro 730 bomber). I have only seen photos of the mock-up, sometimes incorrectly described as the first prototype. Thanks Antonio Moderator Staff member Senior Member Joined 22 January 2006 Messages

2008 Avro 720 Mirage: 2-shot gallery, full history and specifications The Avro 720's windscreen was of a similar style to that used on the Convair F-102 and F-106 (amongst others), consisting of two flat triangular panels forming a sharp ridge along their centreline. I do not know if the 720 had a vision splitter plate between this centreline and the cockpit coaming above the instrument panel like these other.

Atomic orange isn't subtle, but the transformation of the slightly heavy-handed Ford GT into the gorgeous Avro 720 Mirage is all in the detail. The wheels and external brightwork are now matt. Fire In the Desert. April 2, 2021. Two hundred feet above the scorched Nevada desert at 350 knots is unlikely to have been a flight regime envisaged by Avro test pilot Roly Falk when he took the Model 698 on her maiden flight a quarter of a century earlier. And, yet, in the twilight of her Royal Air Force career, crews were operating what was.

The running gear on the Avro 720 Mirage has been appropriately upgraded to match the boost in power. The front and rear track is 5mm wider than the standard car. The front brakes use AP Racing 6-pot front callipers with Stillen drilled and slotted rotors - and similar rotors are used also at the rear.
