ザ LTV A-7 コルセアII は、ダグラス A-4 スカイホークを置き換えるために Ling-Temco-Vought (LTV) によって製造されたアメリカのキャリア対応亜音速軽攻撃機です。その機体のデザインは超音速ヴォートF-8クルセイダーのやや小さなバージョンです。コルセアIIは当初、ベトナム戦争中にアメリカ海軍(USN)に就航しました。その後、空軍(USAF)が、航空州兵(ANG)を含むダグラスA-1スカイレイダーと北米F-100スーパーセイバーに代わるものとして採用されました。航空機はまた、1970年代にギリシャに輸出され、1980年代後半にポルトガルに輸出されました。●USAFとUSNは1991年、1993年にANG、1999年にポルトガル空軍、2014年にギリシャ空軍を退役しました。

General Characteristics and Role
The LTV A-7D Corsair II was a dedicated carrier-capable, subsonic, light attack aircraft developed for the US Navy and later adapted for the US Air Force (USAF), becoming the A-7D variant. The A-7D was a significant modernization of the naval A-7, featuring the switch from the Navy’s Pratt & Whitney turbofan to the more powerful Allison TF41-A-1 turbofan engine, an entirely new computerized navigation and weapons delivery system, and the replacement of the twin 20 mm cannons with a single 20 mm M61 Vulcan rotary cannon. The A-7D became the standard attack aircraft for the Tactical Air Command (TAC) during the Vietnam War, valued for its accuracy and extremely high payload capacity relative to its size. It was nicknamed the “SLUF” (Short Little Ugly Fella).
