A-10 ThunderboltThe Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is a single-seat, twin-turbofan, straight-wing, subsonic attack aircraft developed by the Fairchild Republic for the United States Air Force (USAF).
In service since 1976, it is named for the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, a World War II-era fighter bomber effective at attacking ground targets, but commonly referred to as the Warthog or Hog.
The A-10 was designed to provide close air support (CAS) to friendly ground troops by attacking armored vehicles, tanks, and other enemy ground forces; it is the only production-built aircraft designed solely for CAS to have served with the U.S. Air Force.
Its secondary mission is to direct other aircraft in attacks on ground targets, a role called forward air controller -airborne; aircraft used primarily in this role are designated OA-10.
