AV-8A Harrier Structured Twill Cap
Developed under licence and modified by McDonnell Douglas, the AV-8A was powered by the Rolls-Royce Pegasus turbofan, which directed thrust through four swivelling nozzles. This allowed the aircraft to take off and land vertically or on very short runways—an enormous advantage in forward-deployed environments. It could reach speeds of about 665 mph (Mach 0.9) and carried a mix of cannons, rockets, bombs, and Sidewinder missiles, making it suitable for close air support, interdiction, and limited air defence.
Though not deployed in combat during its initial service in the 1970s and early 1980s, the AV-8A was a revolutionary concept aircraft that helped shape Marine Corps doctrine and laid the foundation for future V/STOL platforms like the AV-8B Harrier II. It also highlighted challenges with early V/STOL operations—such as limited payload and range when operating vertically, maintenance complexity, and susceptibility to foreign object damage during vertical takeoffs.
The U.S. Marine Corps purchased 110 AV-8As and later 8 two-seat TAV-8A trainers. Several aircraft were later upgraded to the AV-8C standard, incorporating improved avionics and reliability updates. The AV-8A remained in front-line service until the mid-1980s, when it was gradually replaced by the more capable AV-8B Harrier II.
