The Most Intimidating Aircraft Ever Made? #shorts

The Avro Vulcan bomber remains a testament to the advancements in aviation technology and the power of strategic deterrence. Its remarkable design, long-range capabilities, and historic contributions make it a powerful aircraft. From its role in the Cold War to its unexpected appearance in the Falklands War, the Vulcan has left an indelible mark on military history.

Yet he doesn’t mention the howl. It’s an eerie intimidating sound.

They were station not far from me and I remember as a child watching these huge white triangles fly over heading for home.

When i was a young American living in Woking, Surrey. I was trying to learn how to ride a bicycle. When i heard the scariest sound. Through the tree top comes a white jet and right over me.. i was 6 yrs. Old. I was very scared.. When my Dad came home he explained to me, the V Bombers were stationed a Farnbough Base not far from where we lived.. Im 70 now..Ill always remember

The engines at max thrust are the most terrifying sounds you will ever hear.

The British have this incredible ability to make machines works of art. Spitfire, Vulcan, Jaguar, Aston Martin, list goes on and on.

That howl is iconic. First time I heard it was Abby in 1986. It’s a sound you never forget. You sure as hell didn’t want to be on the receiving end of it’s Yellow Sun payload.

Ive had the honor to witness this stunning Aviation legend flying during RIAT 2009.
Impressive falls way too short when watching it on the ground but when it takes to the sky is absolutely a magical sight to behold.

Meanwhile, the B-52 continues to fly until probably the 2050's.

Only 7 years between the Lancaster & Vulcan being the UK's front line how quick aviation technology was moving back then!

1974 as a United Nations 🇺🇳 trooper ( 🇬🇧 Army) in Famagusta- I watched and listened in awe as four Vulcans flying out of Royal Air Force Akrotiri Cyprus 🇨🇾 flew over my head in Famagusta just hours before my hotel Aspelia was flattened- courtesy 🇹🇷 Air Force

Operation Atilla ‘74

The Vulcans howl is probably one of the greatest sounds in all of aviation

The Vulcan howl is a sound I will never forget after seeing one of its last flights at an airshow. It was grounded the following the year.

He missed one key part about the aircraft it’s wolf howling engine’s

[paulchafer]

The Victor ( later a tanker) was also a scary number

[andrewkeiley]

I'm proud to say my grandfather helped design and build the Vulcan at AVROs Woodford factory in Manchester. He was in the crew that flew the prototype around the world.

You negated the biggest reason it was soo intimidating: the sound…

[tullochgorum]

I once had a close encounter with one of these. I was just below a ridge on a remote Scottish mountain, with a strong wind drowning out any sound. Suddenly a Vulcan appeared from behind the ridge, directly over my head. It can only have been 100' above me - I could see every rivet. The famous howl of the jets was almost literally earsplitting. Not an experience I'll ever forget.

F-35 Howl: nice sound gives chills
SU-57: Howl: you have 10 seconds to hide
Vulcan Howl: *R U N*

The deacon from our church was a pilot of a Vulcan during the sixties sometime. He said all the air crew loved the bomber.

when this was operational, it utterly cracked the sky at the Bournemouth Air Show...
