F-14 Tomcat model airplanes (with working wings) |
| Unquestionably
one of the finest warplanes in the world today, the initial F-l4A version
of the Tomcat has been in service with the US Navy since October, 1972.
The primary role of this variable-geometry airplane is to provide long-range
air defense to the US naval fleet. Primary interception armament consists
of six Hughes Phoenix air-to-air missiles, currently the longest-range
air-to-air missile in use anywhere in the world (more than 124 miles).
Its use, in conjunction with the extremely powerful Hughes AWG-9 radar
mounted in the nose, provides the Tomcat with the ability to detect and
attack an airborne target while it is still 100 miles away. The Tomcat
is also very strong structurally, many of the airframe components being
manufactured of titanium and boron-epoxy or other composites. By the time
production of this airplane ended in March 1987, 554 F-14As had been built,
including the 12 developmental airplanes. The F-14A is powered by two 20,900-lb.
thrust Pratt & Whitney TF30-P-412A afterburning turbofans, giving the
F-14A a maximum speed at altitude of Mach 2.34 (1,564 mph); service ceiling
over 50,000 feet; and range, interceptor with external fuel, about 2,000
miles. Airplane armament is one General Electric M61A-1 20-mm multi-barrelled
Vulcan cannon in forward fuselage; various combinations of bombs or missiles,
the latter including Phoenix, Sidewinder, and Sparrow, tactical reconnaissance
pod, or ECM equipment. |
