Sunday Aircraft Cheesecake (Harrier)
This week's serving is the V/STOL (vertical/short takeoff and landing) attack aircraft, the Harrier. The aircraft has an interesting developmental history, with inputs from France (original engine design), West Germany, the UK and US (explained in more detail here):
For my money the Harrier is the coolest aircraft ever.
