| Description: |
A close-up of part of Orenda's Iroquois engine. Designed to travel at speeds up to Mach 2, it was the first aircraft to fly at this speed. The project was scrapped in 1959, for several reasons, including being over-budget, and questions as to whether the program would work in the long run. |
