FS2004 ALPHA F-107A MIL COMBAT
ALPHA Simulations 2005 North American F-107\/YF-107A The North American
YF-107A was intended as a fighter-bomber based on the F-100 airframe. It
featured a partially recessed weapons bay under the fuselage and
underwent drastic design changes which resulted in the abandonment of
the F-100B designation in favor of YF-107A. The aircraft featured some
cutting-edge technology, including a vertical slab, variable area inlet
ducts, a fly-by-wire control system which allowed quicker rolling at
supersonic speeds, and a number of other innovations. Ultimately, three
aircraft were built and tested with generally favorable results. The
F-107 was a fast, maneuverable airplane that showed promise, but in the
end the program was cancelled, to be replaced by the well-known Republic
F-105 Thunderchief. Two survive, one at the Pima Air Museum in Tucson,
Arizona, and the other in the Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB
in Ohio.
