The Vulcan normally operated with a crew of five: two pilots, two navigators and an Air Electronics Operator (AEO), with the AEO responsible for all electrical equipment in a role similar to that of flight engineer on earlier propeller aircraft. Only the pilot and co-pilot were provided with ejection seats; the fact that the rear crew were not provided ejection seats led to considerable criticism. Avro Vulcan (wallpaper 3).

There were several instances of the pilot and co-pilot ejecting in an emergency and the rear crew being killed because there was not enough time for them to bail out. Despite its large size, it had a relatively small radar cross-section (RCS) as it had a fortuitously stealthy shape apart from the tail fin; at certain angles, it would vanish from the radar altogether. The Vulcan used entirely powered control surfaces; this allowed a joystick to be used instead of a larger yoke. This system provided a synthetic controls “feel”; flying conditions were fed back to pilot flying as a proportional resistance to his control inputs based upon the aircraft's dynamic flight configuration.
