Tthe LTV A-7 해적 II Douglas A-4 Skyhawk를 대체하기 위해 Ling-Temco-Vought (LTV)에서 제조 한 미국 항공 모함 가능 아음속 경공격기입니다. 기체 디자인은 초음속 Vought F-8 Crusader의 다소 작은 버전입니다. Corsair II는 베트남 전쟁 중 미국 해군 (USN)과 함께 처음 사용되었습니다. 나중에 ANG(Air National Guard)을 포함한 미국 공군(USAF)이 Douglas A-1 Skyraider와 North American F-100 Super Sabre를 대체하기 위해 채택했습니다. 이 항공기는 또한 1970 년대에 그리스에, 1980 년대 후반에 포르투갈에 수출되었습니다. USAF와 USN은 1991 년, ANG은 1993 년, 포르투갈 공군은 1999 년, 그리스 공군은 2014 년에 퇴역했습니다

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).
