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 e 606 $aJet engines$xDesign and construction$xHistory 606 $aHarrier (Jet fighter plane) 606 $aVertically rising aircraft$xJet propulsion$xHistory 615 0$aJet engines$xDesign and construction$xHistory. 615 0$aHarrier (Jet fighter plane) 615 0$aVertically rising aircraft$xJet propulsion$xHistory. 676 $a629.134353 700 $aDow$b Andrew$01706763 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823233703321 996 $aPegasus, the heart of the Harrier$94094464 997 $aUNINA
