Lockheed F-104 Starfighter is an American supersonic prevention and hunter-bombarding plane. The F-104 is the fruit of the American experience in the Korean War, where most air victory was obtained by a surprising blow. This meant that the new USAAF fighter plane should be fast and have a high climbing rate. It was also a reflection of the concept of "aircraft-blue" with man on board, which also works in Soviet and British aviation in the second half of the 1950s and in the early 1960s. The flight of the prototype created by Clarence "Kelly" Johnson took place on February 7, 1954, and its entry into line units began on 1958. Serial aircraft, thin, trapezoidal wing and R21G / General Electric J79 Turbojet engine was strengthened. H radar. F-104 was produced in various versions. The fundamental is the F-104A, which served as a fighter aircraft, and the F-104C, a war-bombardian plane. Subsequent versions were produced primarily for export. With a stronger J79-GE-11 engine and developed avionics, the F-104G went to Germany, a licensed version of the CF-104, F-104G, but with the J79-Oel-7 engine produced in Canada, F-104S is a licensed aircraft produced in Italy with the J79-Ge-19 engine produced in Italy. Finally, F-104J was produced for Japanese Air Force with J79-IHI-11A engine in Mitsubishi factories. Designed to train test pilots, the aircraft was the NF-104 Rocket Starfighter. The F-104 was an incredibly difficult plane that "forgives the pilot and" forgiveness ". He had many accidents; 110 of 238 F-104 aircraft in German aviation fell only!
