Product Description

--The F4D Skyray is a carrier-capable fighter developed in the United States and operated by the US Navy in the 1950s, and became the F-6 Skyray due to the revision of the naming convention in 1962.
――This aircraft is a tailless delta wing fighter with a rounded main wing, and the prototype equipped with the J35 engine flew for the first time in 1951.
--The mass-produced F4D-1 equipped with the P & W J57-P-2 engine, which is the same engine as the supersonic fighter F-100, began to be deployed in 1956.
――This aircraft has extremely excellent capabilities as an interceptor such as speed performance, climbing ability, and high altitude performance, and meets the requirements of the Navy, but it is an interceptor aircraft required for carrier-capable fighter aircraft due to subsequent changes in the US nuclear strategy. Since the load capacity, cruising power, and versatility were more important than the speed and climbing power of the aircraft, this machine gradually retired from the front line from the end of the 1950s and was retired in 1964.
