| 説明 | 1991The F-111 was a long-range, all-weather strike aircraft capable of navigating at low level to destroy targets deep in enemy territory. The versatile F-111 Aardvark entered the U.S. Air Force inventory in 1967,and the fighter version was retired in 1996 (the electronic warfare EF-111A served until 1998). The aircraft was originally conceived in 1960 to combine the USAF requirement for a fighter-bomber with Navy's need for an air-superiority fighter, though the Navy eventually cancelled its program.Primarily a bomber, the F-111 featured a sweep wing varying between 16 degrees and 72.5 degrees, with side-by-side seating for a pilot and weapons systems officer. The F-111's wings are straight for take-offs, landings or slow speed flight; by sweeping its wings rearward, it could exceed twice the speed of sound (Mach 2). The F-111F was equipped with an all-weather AN/AVQ-26 Pave Tack infra-red targeting designator/reader carried in a pod-mounted turret under the fuselage. It could track and designate ground targets for targets for laser, infra-red and electro-optical bombs. The F-111F was one of the most effective Allied aircraft in Operation Desert Storm (1991), flying more than 2,400 sorties against Iraqi strategic sites, vehicle formations and hardened bunkers.In all, 566 F-111s of all series were built; 106 of them were production F-111Fs. The F-111F on display arrived at the museum in May 1996.TECHNICAL NOTES: Armament: One 20mm M61A1 Vulcan cannon, plus a mix of up to 24 conventional or nuclear weapons Engines: Two Pratt & Whitney TF30-P-100s of 25,000 lbs. thrust each with afterburner Maximum speed: 1,452 mphRange: 2,971 milesSpan: 32 ft. swept, 63 ft. extended Length: 73 ft. 6 in.
