Product Description
The F-14A Tomcat is a carrier-based jet fighter aircraft of the United States Navy.
The F-14A is part of AWG-9 (pronounced Augnine).
Using its fire control system, it can track up to 24 targets (enemies) and simultaneously attack six of them with Phoenix missiles.
The F-14A also features a unique variable-sweep wing design.
These wings are designed by a computer to always maintain the optimal variable angle.
For example, when speed decreases, the wings spread to generate more lift.
Conversely, at high speeds, the wings are folded to reduce drag.
Also, when on an aircraft carrier, the wings are folded up so as not to get in the way.
Fire control system: A device that uses radar mounted on the nose of the aircraft to detect the enemy, tracks them using radio waves, and fires missiles (the missile launch is operated by the pilot).
