The Northrop F-20 Tigershark (initially F-5G) is a prototype light fighter, designed and built by Northrop.Its development began in 1975 as a further evolution of Northrop's F-5E Tiger II, featuring a new engine that greatly improved overall performance, and a modern avionics suite including a powerful and flexible radar.
In the end, the aircraft was given the less controversial name "Phantom II", the first "Phantom" being another McDonnell jet fighter, the FH-1 Phantom. The Phantom II was briefly given the designation F-110A and named "Spectre" by the USAF [24] and the Tri-Service aircraft designation system, F-4, was adopted in September 1962.
The Yak-1 was a maneuverable, fast and competitive fighter aircraft. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The composite-wooden structure made it easy to maintain and the engine proved to be reliable. [ 3 ] It formed the basis for subsequent developments from the Yakovlev bureau and was the founder of a family of aircraft, with some 43,000 being built.
Extensive design changes resulted in its redesignation from F-100B to F-107A before the first prototype flew. The F-107 was never given an official name, but was sometimes informally called the "Super Super Sabre" [10] referring to North American's earlier fighter design, the F-100 Super Sabre. [11]
The X-36 was built to 28% scale of a possible fighter aircraft and was controlled by a pilot in a ground-based virtual cockpit with a view provided by a video camera mounted in the canopy of the aircraft. For control, a canard forward of the wing was used as well as split ailerons and an advanced thrust vectoring nozzle for directional control.
