The LTV A-7 Corsair II is a carrier-based subsonic light attack aircraft introduced to replace the United States Navy's A-4 Skyhawk, initially entering service during the Vietnam War. The Corsair was adopted by the United States Air Force, as well as the Air National Guard, to replace the A-1 Skyraider, F-100 Super Sabre and F-105 Thunderchief. The aircraft was also exported to Greece in the 1970s, and Portugal and Thailand in the late 1980s. The A-7 airframe design was based on the successful supersonic F-8 Crusader produced by Chance Vought. It was one of the first combat aircraft .to feature a head-up display . an inertial navigation system (INS). and a turbofan engine. A-7A,First production version. Early USN Corsair IIs had two 20 mm Colt Mk 12 cannons with 250 rounds per gun. Maximum ordnance, carried primarily on the wing pylons, was theoretically 15,000 lb ( 6,804 kg ), but was limited by maximum takeoff weight, so the full weapon load could only be carried with greatly reduced internal fuel; 199 built.and serial production started a year later. The Corsair II resembles the Crusader silhouette, but the wing wedge angle was not changed, which was redesigned, increasing the number of suspension knots to 6, and - apart from flaps and ailerons - saws and spoilers, a device for hydraulic wing folding was also introduced. The structure was largely unified with the Crusader, using many ready-made elements. The main versions are: A-7E (fighter assault), A-7H (land version), A-7K (new avionics, in service since 1980). The A-7 Corsair II aircraft were used in combat on a large scale in the Vietnam War and in the air attack on Libya in 1986. They were also exported, min. to Greece and Portugal.
