The Arrow and similarly the TSR-2 were both victims of rising production costs at a time when military funding was shrinking.

The final downfall of the Arrow came about when Canada failed to get the US and UK to purchase any airframes and the final demise came about for the TSR-2 when cheaper alternatives were readily available, ie the Buccaneer and Phantom.

Eventually, the smaller swing-wing Panavia Tornado was developed and adopted by a European consortium to fulfil broadly similar requirements to the TSR-2.
