- Fireflash was the United Kingdom's first air-to-air guided missile to see service with the Royal Air Force. It was briefly deployed during the 1950's. Constructed by Fairey Aviation, the missile utilised radar beam-riding guidance.
- Each tailplane nacelle contains three 'Atomus' jet engines. They are powered by an atomic fusion reactor. Power is generated via the heat exchanger through conduits built into the tailplane to the rear of the cockpit entry system. Access to the cockpit is gained via a lift or adjacent emergency ladder from the engineering deck.
