Developed by the U.S., the F-4 Phantom II is a tandem two-seat, all-weather,
supersonic fighter-bomber. It entered service during the sixties, and it is one
of the most famous airplanes of the military aviation history. In the original
project, it was specifically designed for U.S. Navy, but it has been used by
all U.S. forces and it obtained a significant commercial success around the
World. The original version designed for the US Navy was further improved in
1966 with the production start-up of the Phantom F-4J, characterized by the
adoption of new systems able to enhance the air-to-air and ground-attack combat
capabilities. The avionic was significantly improved and the
innovative fire control system for look-down / shoot-down capability
was adopted. Thanks to its two upgraded J-79-10 powerful
jet-engines the Phantom was able to reach the top speed of 1,240 Knots. Speed,
thrust and reliability were the Phantom II strengths able to successfully counterbalance
the reduced maneuverability due to its big dimension.
