Developed from the P.1127 and Kestrel prototypes, it entered RAF service as the Harrier GR.1 in 1969 after its first flight in 1967. Its defining feature was the Rolls-Royce Pegasus turbofan engine, mounted in the fuselage and fitted with four rotating nozzles that directed thrust for lift and forward flight, allowing it to operate without traditional runways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"526\" data-end=\"810\"\u003eThe Harrier’s unique landing gear configuration, with outriggers under the wings, supported stable hovering and vertical landings. It was highly versatile, carrying a wide range of weapons including bombs, rocket pods, gun pods, and air-to-air missiles such as the AIM-9 Sidewinder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"812\" data-end=\"1218\"\u003eThe design attracted strong interest from the United States Marine Corps, leading to the AV-8A Harrier, produced by \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eHawker Siddeley Aviation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e and later operated by USMC squadrons such as VMA-513, VMA-542, and VMA-231.
