The A-7 Corsair II is a single-place transonic light attack
aircraft that was manufactured by the Vought Corporation in Dallas,
Texas. It was designed for the US Navy to replace the A-4 Skyhawk and
had the latest radar, navigational, communications and weapons systems,
making it an all-weather combat aircraft. The armament consists of a
single, nose mounted M61
Vulcan 20 mm gun, six wing- and two fuselage-mounted store pylons, which
can carry a variety of bombs, missiles and rockets. The single TF-41-A-1
engine is a non-afterburner turbofan, designed by Rolls Royce but
produced by the Allison Division of General Motors. It was the first
aircraft with a modern Head-Up Display (HUD) system. The aircraft
entered service during the Vietnam conflict.
