It was previously usual for aircraft designers to seek a suitable engine, but this was an engine that sought an aircraft. The aircraft thatresulted was the famous Harrier that is still in front-line service with air forces around the world including the RAF and US Marine Corps. This book takes an in-depth look at the engine's original design concept, initial production and flight testing. It then goes on to explain how the developments and improvements have been made over the ensuing years and includes eJet enginesDesign and constructionHistoryHarrier (Jet fighter plane)Vertically rising aircraftJet propulsionHistoryElectronic books.Jet enginesDesign and constructionHistory.Harrier (Jet fighter plane)Vertically rising aircraftJet propulsionHistory.629.134353Dow Andrew935848MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458270603321Pegasus, the heart of the Harrier2108211UNINA
