Harrier AV-8B

Harrier, kdaj tudi Jump Jet je družina vojaških reaktivnih letal s sposobnostjo V/STOL (Vertical/Short TakeOff and Landing) - kratek/vertikalen vzlet in vertikalen pristanek. Prednost letala je, da ne potrebuje dolgih vzletnih stez in lahko pristaja vertikalno na majhnem prostoru. Kdaj se za lažji vzlet na letalonosilkah uporabi skalalnica (ang. ski jump). Harrierja se uporablja na letalonosilkah veliko držav, ki si sicer ne bi mogle privoščiti velikih superletalonosilk z katapulti. Harrier lahko leti s hitrostjo okrog 1000 km/h, malce manj kot hitrost zvoka.

Obstajata dve generaciji s štirimi glavnimi različicami:

• Hawker Siddeley Harrier
  • British Aerospace Sea Harrier
• Boeing/BAE Systems AV-8B Harrier II
  • BAE Systems/Boeing Harrier II

Hawker Siddeley Harrier je prva generacija in je znan tudi kot AV-8A Harrier. Sea Harrier je mornarska različica. AV-8B in BAE Harrier II sta ameriška in britanska varianta druge generacije Harrierja.
