Canadair CF-1
The Canadair CF-1 is the first aircraft produced by the Canadiar National Aircraft Company, or CNAC, also known just as Canadair. Designed as a single engined first generation day fighter, the CF-1 ran into immediate problems when canada could not procure engines powerful enough to power the CF-1. So they decided to put two less powerful engines inside the same fuselage, producing the CF-1. Sadly, the projected performance wasnt achieved, and the Canadian government instead bought ageing F-80 Shooting Stars as their primary jet fighter. Only one prototype was built, and it was lost in an accident when its port engine blew up due to a buildup of ice. The pilot survived, but the aircraft was scrapped. All that remains was the nose air intake, now sitting in a museum.
