CAC Sabre
open-in-new
<h2 id="development">Development</h2> <p>In 1951, CAC obtained a licence agreement to build the F-86F Sabre, in response to the cancelled <a href="/facts/CAC_CA-23/IEr29vaI">CAC CA-23</a> project, In a major departure from the North American blueprint, it was decided that the CA-27 would be powered by a licence-built version of the <a href="/facts/Rolls-Royce_Avon/4c93bpXJ">Rolls-Royce Avon R.A.7</a>, which was planned to be also used in the CAC CA-23 previously, rather than the <a href="/facts/General_Electric_J47/KMclk9VA">General Electric J47</a>. In theory, the Avon was capable of more than double the maximum thrust and double the <a href="/facts/Thrust-to-weight_ratio/lgAXJLRJ">thrust-to-weight ratio</a> of the US engine. This necessitated a re-design of the fuselage, as the Avon was shorter, wider and lighter than the J47.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:1" href="#fn:1"><sup>1</sup></a> Because of the engine change the type is sometimes referred to as the Avon Sabre. To accommodate the Avon, over 60 percent of the fuselage was altered and there was a 25 percent increase in the size of the air intake. Another major revision was in replacing the F-86F's six machine guns with two 30mm <a href="/facts/ADEN_cannon/SQpq23Gr">ADEN cannon</a>,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2"><sup>2</sup></a> while other changes were also made to the cockpit and to provide an increased fuel capacity.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a> </p><p>The prototype aircraft (designated CA-26 Sabre) first flew on 3 August 1953. The production aircraft were designated the CA-27 Sabre and first deliveries to the <a href="/facts/Royal_Australian_Air_Force/kkCS5X4E">Royal Australian Air Force</a> began in 1954. The first batch of aircraft were powered by the Avon 20 engine and were designated the Sabre Mk 30. Between 1957 and 1958 this batch had the wing slats removed and were redesignated Sabre Mk 31.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a> These Sabres were supplemented by 20 new-build aircraft. The last batch of aircraft were designated Sabre Mk 32 and used the Avon 26 engine, of which 69 were built up to 1961.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="operational-history">Operational history</h2> <p>The RAAF operated the CA-27 from 1954 to 1971.
