On this day in aviation history, The Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow was rolled out for the first time in 1957. The CF-105 was a delta-winged interceptor designed and built by Avro Canada, and considered by many, to be far ahead of its time, with projected near-Mach 2 speeds at altitudes of 50,000 feet.

Sadly, on 20 February 1959, the CF-105 Arrow program (and its Iroquois engines) was abruptly halted, and a short two months later, the entire assembly line, tooling, existing airframes and engines were ordered to be destroyed. Nothing survived, not even a blueprint.

Following the cancellation of the Avro Arrow project, CF-105 Chief Aerodynamicist Jim Chamberlin led a team of 25 engineers to NASA's Space Task Group to become lead engineers, program managers, and heads of engineering in NASA's manned space programs—Projects Mercury, Gemini and Apollo.

The Space Task Group team eventually grew to 32 Avro engineers and technicians, and became emblematic of what many Canadians viewed as a "brain drain" to the United States.

Among the former Arrow team engineers to go south were Tecwyn Roberts (NASA's first Flight Dynamics Officer on Project Mercury and later Director of Networks at Goddard Space Flight Center) John Hodge (Flight Director and Manager on the cancelled Space Station Freedom project), Dennis Fielder (Director of Space Station Task Force, later the Space Station), Owen Maynard (Chief of the LM engineering office in the Apollo Program Office) and Rod Rose (Technical Assistant for the Space Shuttle program).
