BAC TSR-2
British Aircraft Corporation TSR-2 je bil britanski dvomotorni taktični bombnik iz časa Hladne vojne. Razvilo ga je britansko podjetje British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) v poznih 1950ih in zgodnjih 1960ih. Namenjen je bil penetraciji visokozaščitenih ciljev na nizki višini in pri visoki hitrosti. Lahko je bil oborožen s konvencionalnim ali jedrskim orožjem. Lahko pa se je uporabljal tudi kot izvidniško letalo na visokih višinah. Zgradili so 23 letal, vendar je samo eno letalo dejansko letelo.

Zaradi visoke cene in političnih razlogov so program leta 1965 preklicali. Kasneje so namesto njega nameravali naročiti General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark, F-4 Phantom II ali pa Black Buccaneerja. Na koncu so izbrali lovskega bombnika Panavia Tornado.
