Bombardier CF-190 Crossbow

The Bombardier CF-190 Crossbow is a heavyweight twin engine stealth multirole fighter developed by Bombardier Aerospace.

It's first flight occurred on August 22, 2006 and production began in 2008. The Canadian Forces ordered 84 Crossbows for their air force.

At the April 2010 Red Flag exercises, the Crossbows of 445 Squadron managed to beat down everything but the F-22 Raptor. The AtG performance of the Crossbow would impress the Australia F-111 pilots and British Tornado GR.7 pilots.

In 2011, Belgium ordered 18 Crossbows while Australia ordered 36 of them. In January 2012, the Crossbow and CF-184C Supercat begin receiving the Orenda PS.14 Haida afterburning turbofans to replace their General Electric F110-GE-132 turbofans.
