The Arcturus seems to be only a subvariant of the Aurora, basically the same aircraft just lacking the ASW capabilities. -- Denniss 18:40, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
The introduction here informes us that: "In
Greek mythology,
Aurora is the Greek goddess who restored
Orion's eyesight, and also the
Aurora Borealis are the "northern lights" that are prominent over northern Canada and the
Arctic Ocean".
Is any of that relevant? And if it is (some allusion to the aircraft's function, perhaps, or an explanation of why it was named so (in which case it would need a reference to confirm it)) should it be in the introduction? It's hardly the most significant fact about the plane, is it?
And I assume the CP-140A was named for the star
Arcturus (or
one of these; the rock band, maybe?): Does that need mentioning as well?

I cannot find any reference to this but I wonder whether the Kawasaki P-1 was considered? I know that the UK did look at the type for their own MPA programme. Gentleman wiki ( talk) 23:56, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
Announcement to proceed with buying the Boeing P-8A with first deliveries projected for 2026 if the project is not delayed:
