Movie: Avro Arrow Canadian fighter plane.

Guys last week I watched this movie. I don't think any other movie shows the complexities and management problems faced by such an aviation project in details. Look how specifications of planes change overnight leading to redesigning of many parts. How foreign involvement and bureaucracy can lead to a demise of such a master piece. This movie shows the personal life moments of engineers and how they overcame problems.

This plane was said to be too ahead of its time ofcourse it was built in Canada . I still find it weird that how a country of 15 million was able to assemble this plane without any foreign support. How did they manage human and financial resources.

I have my sympathies will all aerospace designers in the world. I could easily relate this project to many in the world including Indian.

I don't understand why many praise it when it was just a prototype? I would say that it would have been a good plane if it had been inducted in the air force back then. Canada should forget about it and make a new project, perhaps, to replace the CF-18s. The F-35 is probably it, but they need to give more input.
