av-8b harrier
McDonnell Douglas
AV-8B Harrier
Crew: 1
Wingspan: 30' 4"
Length: 46' 4"
Height: 11' 8"
Range: 700 miles
Speed: 575 kts
The Harrier's main
distinction is its
V/STOL (vertical/short
takeoff and landing)
capability. This
allows it to operate
from poorly prepared
strips close to the
front lines. Because
of their quick turn-
around capability and
maneuverability the
USMC uses Harriers for
close air support and
recon during landings.
