Product Description
| A-4E Sky Hawk - The A-4 Skyhawk was designed by Douglas in response to a US Navy call for a jet-powered attack aircraft to replace the older A-1 Skyraider. Douglas opted for a design that would minimize its size, weight, and complexity. The result was an aircraft that weighed only half of the Navys weight specification It had a wing so compact that it did not need to be folded for carrier stowage A-4E, including new Pratt & Whitney J52-P-6A engine with 8,400 lbf 37 kN of thrust, strengthened airframe with two more weapon pylons for a total of five, improved avionics, with TACAN, Doppler navigation radar, radar altimeter, toss-bombing computer, and AJB-3A low-altitude bombing system.
