There are two main models: the original F-5A and F-5B Freedom Fighter variants and F-5E and F-5F Tiger II variants. The design team focused on performance and low maintenance costs, wrapped a small, high aerodynamic hunter aircraft around two compact and high -puvety general Electric J85 engine. McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II is smaller and simpler than contemporaries, the supply and operation of F-5 is less costly, which makes it a popular export plane. Although designed for a role of a day of air, the aircraft is also a talented land attack platform. F-5A was put into service in the early 1960s. During the Cold War, it was produced more than 800 for US allies until 1972. Although the United States did not need a slight hunter aircraft at that time, the Northrop's N-156 Hunter design was supplied about 1,200 Northrop T-38 Talon training aircraft.
