Special Notice! Vought A7Vought A-7 Corsair II
The US Navy had called for a new low cost single place light attack aircraft. To keep the costs in line the design was to be based on an existing aircraft. The Vought A-7 Corsair was initially a design study based on the F-8 Crusader. The first prototype flew on September 27, 1965. The A-7 had a number of improvements over the F-8. The A-7 had a redesigned engine intake, to reduce problems encountered during catapult launch, it also had a fully hinged wing to allow the front edge of the wing to rotate up during take-off or landing.
