The Hawker P.1127 and the Hawker Siddeley Kestrel FGA.1 were the experimental and development aircraft that led to the Hawker Siddeley Harrier the first vertical and/or short take-off and landing (V/STOL) jet fighter-bomber. Kestrel development began in 1957 taking advantage of the Bristol Engine Company’s choice to invest in the creation of the Pegasus vectored-thrust engine.
