1. Title: The Sole Avro Canada C102 Jetliner CF-EJD-X: A Pioneering Canadian Aviation Icon 2.. This photograph showcases the sole surviving Avro Canada C102 Jetliner, registration CF-EJD-X, a significant milestone in Canadian aviation history. The C102 Jetliner, developed by Avro Canada between 1948 and 1952, was a groundbreaking transport aircraft designed to challenge the dominance of American and European manufacturers in the post-World War II era. The C102 Jetliner was a twin-engine, twin-boom design, featuring a unique tricycle landing gear configuration and a pressurized cabin capable of accommodating 32 passengers. Its sleek, modern design and advanced features, such as a retractable tailplane and wingtip fuel tanks, set it apart from contemporary aircraft. Despite its innovative design, the C102 Jetliner faced numerous challenges during its development, including delays in engine deliveries and financial difficulties within Avro Canada. Ultimately, only one prototype was built, with CF-EJD-X serving as the sole surviving example of this pioneering Canadian aircraft. Today, the C102 Jetliner CF-EJD-X is a cherished piece of Canadian aviation history, preserved and displayed at the Canadian Aviation and Space Museum in Ottawa, Canada. This photograph captures the essence of this remarkable aircraft, showcasing its timeless beauty and the ingenuity of the Canadian engineers who brought it to life. The Avro Canada C102 Jetliner represents a pivotal moment in Canadian aviation, demonstrating the country's potential to compete on the global stage and inspiring future generations of aerospace innovators. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of the C102 Jetliner and the pioneering spirit of Avro Canada.
