The Avro Vulcan, sometimes referred to as the Hawker Siddeley Vulcan, is a delta wing subsonic jet strategic bomber that was operated by the Royal Air Force (RAF) from 1953 until 1984. It was developed by Avro in response to a specification released by the Air Ministry. At the time, both jet engines and delta wings were considered cutting-edge and relatively unexplored; thus, the small-scale Avro 707 was produced to test the principles of the design.

  • The Avro Vulcan, sometimes referred to as the Hawker Siddeley Vulcan, is a delta wing subsonic jet strategic bomber that was operated by the Royal Air Force (RAF) from 1953 until 1984. It was developed by Avro in response to a specification released by the Air Ministry. At the time, both jet engines and delta wings were considered cutting-edge and relatively unexplored; thus, the small-scale Avro 707 was produced to test the principles of the design. In flight, the Vulcan was an agile aircraft for its size. The Vulcan B.1 was first delivered to the RAF in 1956. In service, the Vulcan was armed with nuclear weapons and was a part of the RAF's V bomber force, the United Kingdom's airborne deterrent against aggression from other powers such as the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Features such as an extensive electronic countermeasures suite and a low radar cross section for its size would have made the aircraft difficult to detect while carrying out the nuclear strike mission. A second batch of aircraft, the B.2, was produced with new features, including a larger wing and greater fuel capacity, along with more advanced electronics and radar systems. The B.2s were adapted into several other variants, the B.2A carrying the Blue Steel missile, the B.2 (MRR) for Marine Radar Reconnaissance use, and the K.2 tanker for aerial refuelling. The Vulcan was also used in the secondary role of conventional bombing near the end of its service life in the 1982 Falklands War against Argentina during Operation Black Buck. One example, XH558, was recently restored for use in display flights and commemoration of the employment of the aircraft in the Falklands conflict.

  • L'Avro 698 Vulcan era un bombardiere strategico (e nucleare) prodotto dall'azienda britannica Avro ed impiegato nella Royal Air Force dal 1956 fino al 1984. È stato quello di maggior successo dei tre "V-bombers", pur non essendo né quello apparso per primo né quello più evoluto. Oltre 100 macchine di questo modello vennero prodotte e si caratterizzavano per l'ala a delta composito. I Vulcan, capaci di volare a grandi altezze e dotati di 4 potenti motori, vennero usati come bombardieri fino agli anni settanta, e come aerocisterne fino al 1984. Alcuni combatterono nella guerra delle Falkland, con missioni di bombardamento e rifornimento in volo tra le più lunghe mai eseguite.

  • Avro Vulcan é um bombardeiro estratégico de grande autonomia fabricado na Inglaterra pela Avro. Facilmente identificado por suas asas em delta, foi um dos três modelos do chamado trio mágico da Real Força Aérea, os "V Bombers", sobre o qual repousou por mais tempo a dissuasão nuclear da Inglaterra. Notável bombardeiro tático a baixa altura (versão B.2). Não transportava armamento defensivo. O protótipo efetuou o seu primeiro võo de ensaio em 1952. Mas foi somente em 1957 que a versão B. Mk1 começou a equipar os esquadrões da RAF. O Vulcan deixou o serviço na RAF no início dos anos 80, não antes, porém, de realizar em 1982 sua única missão de combate real: raides extremamente longos com o código "Black Buck", quando bombardearam a pista e as instalações de radar de Port Stanley, durante a Guerra das Malvinas. Durante uma dessas missões, em 3 de junho de 1982, um Vulcan (nº XM597) sofre uma pane hidráulica e não consegue efetuar o reabastecimento em voo. Para não cair no mar, invade o espaço aéreo brasileiro sendo escoltado por caças Northrop F-5E Tiger II até o Aeroporto do Galeão, no Rio de Janeiro, onde faz um pouso de emergência, causando um incidente diplomático entre Argentina, Brasil e Grã Bretanha. Após alguns dias retido, o avião é autorizado a retornar à sua base na ilha de Ascensão

Всего выпущено 136 самолётов, включая прототипы. «Вулкан» состоял на вооружении Королевских ВВС в 1956—1984 годах, став, таким образом, последним британским стратегическим бомбардировщиком. Самолёты этого типа совершили несколько боевых вылетов в ходе Фолклендской войны. В настоящее время один «Вулкан» (серийный номер XH588) возвращён в полётопригодное состояние.
