To counter this threat the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] decided not to use a new ship class of its own, but a new specialised strike aircraft employing conventional or nuclear weapons instead.
Operating from its [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] and attacking at high-speed and low-level, it would offer a solution to the Sverdlov problem.

Specification
A detailed specification was issued in June 1952 as Naval Staff Requirement NA.39, calling for a two-seat aircraft with folding wings, capable of flying at Mach 0.85 at 200 ft (61 m), having a [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] of over 400 nmi (460 mi; 740 km), and carrying a nuclear weapon internally.

Blackburn's design by Barry P. Laight, Project B-103, won the tender in July 1955.[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]
Owing to secrecy, the aircraft was called BNA (Blackburn Naval Aircraft) or BANA (Blackburn Advanced Naval Aircraft) in documents, leading to the obvious nickname of "Banana Jet".
(Other sources have described the initial project title as 'ARNA,' 'A Royal Navy Aircraft,' with Blackburn ARNA quickly becoming 'Banana'.)
The first prototype made its maiden flight from [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] on 30 April 1958.

The fuselage was [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]; meaning it was designed to reduce [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] at [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] speeds.
This gives rise to the characteristic curvy "[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]" shape.
It featured a [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] tailplane that could be trimmed to suit the particular requirements of low-speed handling or high-speed flight.

Re: Blackburn Buccaneer
The tail cone was formed from two leaves that could be hydraulically opened into the airstream to decelerate the aircraft.
The nose cone and radar antenna could also be swung around by 180° to reduce the length of the aircraft in the carrier hangar.
This feature was particularly important as contemporary British aircraft carriers were small.

Power plant
The first Buccaneer model, the S.1, was powered by a pair of [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] turbojets producing 7,100 [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]
(32 kN) of thrust.
This mark was somewhat underpowered, and as a consequence could not take off fully laden with both fuel and armament.
A temporary solution to this problem was the "buddy" system; aircraft took off with a full load of weaponry and minimal fuel and would sortie with a [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] that would deliver the full load of fuel by [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].
