Designed as the primary fighter aircraft of the US Navy, the F-14 Tomcat could perform air superiority, escort and attack tasks, and undoubtedly it was one of the most advanced and technologically developed aircraft serving an aircraft carrier. The prototype machine was blown on December 21, 1970 and the first aircraft was delivered to the US Navy after four years. Last Tomcat planes were excluded in 2006, which shows the high quality and excellent performance of this machine perfectly. The most innovative and characteristic solution for F-14 is variable geometry wings. Manually controlled by computer or pilot, these tools can change their offensive angles to 60 degrees at a minimum speed of 20 degrees at supersonic speeds. The changing geometry of the wings also allows the wings to be positioned in the most appropriate way during strict maneuvers, so that this powerful aircraft exhibits extraordinary maneuverability. The heart of the Tomcat weapon system is the Hughes Ang-9 radar that cooperates with AIM-54A Phoenix air missiles with a range of up to 180 km. It is particularly important to follow and attack multiple targets. As the battle experience in the Vietnam War shows, a less important element of the armament is the ball in the F-14, which is mounted into the M-61 Vulcan body and firing 6,000 bullets per minute! Of course, you can install other types of weapons such as Sparrow, Sidewinder rockets or various bombs. F-14 also owes most of its success to the excellent power unit in the form of a pair of Pratt-Whitney TF30 motor with a pushing power of 9300 with a Art burning. Technical Data: Maximum speed: 2480 km/h, climbing speed: 153 m/s, practical ceiling 17100 m, maximum range: 3200 km, armament: fixed - single, six -barrel 20 mm m61 -a1 ball, hanging - until 6580 kg cargo.
