The Gloster Javelin is a British jet-propelled two-seater twin-engine interceptor. Parallel to the development of the Meteor aircraft, the Gloster company was working on a modern delta-wing jet fighter called Javelin, which was flown in November 1951. Due to its layout, the Javelin had slightly different properties from classic aircraft, especially longitudinal stability at low speeds. Due to numerous doubts related to this in the design office of the plant and subsequent modifications, the first Javelins were delivered to the RAF in 1956. where they served as high-altitude interceptors until 1961. Ultimately, the aircraft did not prove its superiority over the Lightning aircraft, and was permanently decommissioned in 1964-1968. The most widely produced versions are FAW.7, FAW.8 and FAW.9. Technical data (version FAW.9): length: 17.15 m, wingspan: 15.85 m, height: 4.88 m, maximum speed: 1140 km / h, climb speed: 27.5 m / s, maximum range: 1500 km, weapons : fixed - 4 30mm ADEN cannons, outboard - usually four de Havilland Firestreak air-to-air missiles.
