Canadair Aircraft is a part of Bombardier.

Interest in vertical or short take-off / landing vehicles emerged from Canadair in 1956, and in 1963, development began, embodied in the Canadair CL-84 aircraft.

It had a traditional fuselage with space for two crew members and an internal compartment for test equipment or 12 soldiers.

The wings were able to turn at an angle of up to 100 °, which made it possible to fly not only forward, but also backward at a speed of 56 km / h or hover in place.

Kruger flaps were used in conjunction with slotted flaps located throughout the wingspan, which could also be used differentially as ailerons.

At angles of rotation up to 30 °, the stabilizer turned synchronously with the wing, which was provided by internal communication, but at large angles, the tail stabilizer returned to zero deflection.

At low speeds or in hover mode, the wing tilt axes were controlled by two small propellers mounted at the end of the fuselage.

The first hovering flight was performed on May 7, 1965. The aircraft gained 145 flight hours before crashing on September 12, 1967.

However, the Canadian Department of Defense ordered three copies of the improved CL-84-1 (army designation in Canada - CX-84), with 1119kW Lycoming LTC1K-4A turboprop engines, instead of the previous 1044kW, which was equipped with the prototype aircraft.

The capacity of the internal fuel tanks has also been increased and two external suspension points have been added.

The first copy of the CX-84 took off on February 19, 1970.
