A. V. Roe Vulcan B.2
====================

The Avro Vulcan was probably the most famous of the U.K. V-force aircraft,
originally deisgned to deliver atomic weapons in the early 1950s. A huge
four-engined, subsonic delta bomber, it was originally designed for high-level
delivery. Due to improvements in Russion AA technology, the V-force was
re-trained for low-level flying, for which the Vulcan proved to have a much more
robust airframe than the Victor or Valiant.

While being retired for service in 1982 (to be replaced by the Tornado), the
Vulcan was finally used in anger during the Falklands Conflict. The "Black Buck"
missions flew flew from Ascension Island to bomb Port Stanley runway and take
out anti-aircraft radar systems. At the time, the mission was the longest
bombing mission ever undertaken and involved incredible logistics and multiple
in-flight refueling from Victor aircraft.



Systems
=======

The Vulcan has 4 engines, airbrakes, a brake chute, and no flaps.

V-speeds can be found in the Aircraft Help within FG.
