Sepecat Jaguar ACT Demonstrator
Cosford, Hangar Two Aircraft & Exhibits
The Active Control Technology (ACT) Jaguar was an analogue airframe modified to be less stable and fitted with fly-by-wire computer technology for trials work. Lessons learned from these trials was used in later aircraft like the EAP and Eurofighter Typhoon. No modern fighter jet today could fly without the use of computers.
The ACT Jaguar was adapted from an ex-RAF GR1 airframe from 1978, and carried out active trials work in the early to mid 1980s.
