At the time we laid down the design of the CF-105
there was a somewhat emotional controversy going on in the United States on the relative merits of the delta plan form versus the straight wing for supersonic aircraft... our choice of a tailless delta was based mainly on the compromise of attempting to achieve structural and aeroelastic efficiency
with a very thin wing
and yet
at the same time
achieving the large internal fuel capacity required for the specified range.
The aircraft
at supersonic speeds
was pleasant and easy to fly. During approach and landing
the handling characteristics were considered good.... On my second flight... the general handling characteristics of the Arrow Mark 1 were much improved.... On my sixth and last flight... the erratic control in the rolling plane
encountered on the last flight
was no longer there... Excellent progress was being made in the development... from where I sat the Arrow was performing as predicted and was meeting all guarantees.
