It was developed in response to a specification released by the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].
At the time, both jet engines and delta wings were considered cutting-edge and relatively unexplored; thus, the small-scale [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] was produced to test the principles of the design. In flight, the Vulcan was an agile aircraft for its size.

The Vulcan B.1 was first delivered to the RAF in 1956.
In service, the Vulcan was armed with nuclear weapons and was a part of the RAF's [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] force, the United Kingdom's airborne deterrent against aggression from other powers such as the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] during the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].
In addition to an extensive electronic countermeasures suite, the Vulcan had a small radar cross-section, aiding its deterrent role by evading detection and therefore increasing the likelihood of penetrating Soviet airspace and deploying its weapons load successfully.
A second batch of aircraft, the B.2, was produced with new features, including a larger wing and greater fuel capacity, along with more advanced electronics and radar systems.

The B.2s were adapted into several other variants, the B.2A carrying the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien], the B.2 (MRR) for Marine Radar Reconnaissance use, and the K.2 tanker for air-to-air refuelling.
The Vulcan was also used in the secondary role of conventional bombing near the end of its service life in the 1982 [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] against Argentina during [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].
