The British Aerospace Sea Harrier (informally Shar) is a naval short take-off and vertical-landing/vertical take-off and landing jet fighter, reconnaissance and attack aircraft, a development of the Hawker Siddeley Harrier. It first entered service with the Royal Navy in April 1980 as the Sea Harrier FRS1 and became informally known as the "Shar" (Sea Harrier). Unusual in an era in which most naval and land-based air superiority fighters were large and supersonic, the principal role of the subsonic Sea Harrier was to provide air defence of the fleet from Royal Navy aircraft carriers. The version currently modeled in FlightGear is the Sea Harrier FA2, an improved version with the Blue Vixen 
radar and the AIM-120 AMRAAM .
