The groundbreaking design used by the Arrow secured Canada in creating the best plane in the world at the time. It could climb well above 60 000 feet and carry 6-8 missiles. And unlike the Bomarc, could bring extra missiles back to be used again. It was far safer than the Bromarc's Canada were using for protection. And besides, they shouldn't have to depend on the states for their own defence. They had the most advanced air craft in the world at their fingertips. But Diefenbaker didn't give it a chance. The cancellation of

the Arrow prevented the use of similar designs in other planes, And because of this, slowed the process of Canadian aircraft expertise in later years
