25 years after it entered service, the Harrier is still the only fighter in the world capable of taking off and landing vertically. Having demonstrated its effectiveness during the 1982 Falklands War, the little Jump Jet has developed into a highly advanced aircraft, ideally suited to a wide range of applications. Needing no airfield, and with unprecedented agility, it can stop dead in mid-flight, move forwards, backwards, or sideways and even turn on the spot. These unique flying abilities make it the equal of almost any other fighter aeroplane in a dogfight, at low speed, it is virtually unbeatable.
