After the Second World War, the jetting of the warplanes on the ship progressed smoothly,
The jetting of small aircraft on the ship is delayed,
Even after the end of the Korean War, the A-1Skyraider of the Reciprocating Aircraft Company was the main force.
The U.S. Navy fully recognized the importance of ground attacks in the Korean War.
To develop a fighter jet superior to the MiG15 of the Communist army
The development of the aircraft was delayed again.
In the early 1950s, however, the U.S. Navy...
we're working on the development of the next ship's attack aircraft.
In response to this plan, the Douglas design team...
Gross weight 6.8tonnes born from research on lightweight fighter jets,
We proposed a small machine with a total width of less than 8.4m.
This bold design proposal was approved and a contract was signed,
The first prototype (XA-4A) that flew for the first time on June 22, 1954, was
A thorough weight reduction has been made,
The main wings are integrated on the left and right sides, and the fuselage is simplified and the fuselage is attached to it.
It was an aircraft designed with ease of maintenance in mind.
Until the handover of the final mass-produced aircraft ended in February 1979,
Production period 26years, total number of mass-produced machines2,960units,
It proves how excellent the basic design of the A-4 Skyhawk was.
The A-4E is an improved type of A-4C that replaced the engine from J65 to J52-P-6,
The shape of the air intake has also changed due to the engine change,
The weaponry on the underside of the main wing has been increased to a maximum of 8,200lb (3,720kg).
The A-4F is the last type for the U.S. Navy.
Power up the engine to the J52-P-8A and house electronics
A hump fairing has been added to the back of the fuselage.
The A-4F is also part of the U.S. Navy's acrobatic team ‘Blue Angels‘.
Used between 1974 and 1986, it attracted spectators with its dynamic flight.
