McDonnell FH Phantom
Šalies	Jav
Vaidmenį	Vežėjų pagrindu veikiantys naikintuvai
Pirmasis skrydis	1945 m. sausio 26 d.
Pastatytas	62

2007 McDonnell FH Fantomas buvo dviejų variklių reaktyvinis naikintuvas, suprojektuotas ir pirmą kartą skridęs Antrojo pasaulinio karo metu Jungtinių Valstijų kariniam jūrų laivynui. "Phantom" buvo pirmasis grynai reaktyvinis orlaivis, nusileidęs ant amerikiečių lėktuvnešio, ir pirmasis reaktyvinis lėktuvas, kurį dislokavo Jungtinių Valstijų jūrų pėstininkų korpusas. Nors pasibaigus karui buvo pastatyti tik 62 FH-1, tai padėjo įrodyti vežėjų reaktyvinių naikintuvų gyvybingumą. Kaip pirmasis sėkmingas "McDonnell" naikintuvas, paskatinęs sukurti sekantį "F2H Banshee", kuris buvo vienas iš dviejų svarbiausių Korėjos karo karinių jūrų pajėgų naikintuvų, jis taip pat įtvirtintų "McDonnell" kaip svarbų karinio jūrų laivyno orlaivių tiekėją. Kai "McDonnell" nusprendė sugrąžinti pavadinimą su "Mach 2" klasės "McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II", jis pradėjo tai, kas taps universaliausiu ir plačiausiai naudojamu Vietnamo karo eros Vakarų koviniu lėktuvu, kurį priėmė USAF ir JAV karinis jūrų laivynas

The Navy’s Jet Foundation

2007 McDonnell FH-1 Phantom (originally designated FD-1) was a twin-engine jet fighter that changed naval aviation forever. Developed in the closing years of WWII, it was designed to prove that pure-jet aircraft could successfully operate from carrier decks without the help of a piston engine. While its production run was small and its service life short, it provided the essential data that allowed the U.S. Navy to transition into the Jet Age, setting the stage for the more famous F2H Banshee and the legendary F-4 Phantom II.

Clean Lines and Buried Engines

Wing-Root Integration: To minimize frontal area and drag, McDonnell engineers “buried” the small Westinghouse turbojets into the wing roots. This gave the FH-1 a remarkably clean aerodynamic profile compared to the bulky engine pods seen on the German Me 262 or British Meteor.
Straight-Wing Efficiency: At the time, swept wings were still experimental. The FH-1 used a thin, straight wing that provided excellent lift and predictable handling during the low-speed, high-stress environment of a carrier landing.
Tricycle Landing Gear: One of the first naval aircraft to utilize a nosewheel, the FH-1 offered pilots a much better view of the carrier deck during landing compared to traditional “taildraggers.”
Squared-Off Tail: The vertical stabilizer featured a distinctive squared-off top, a design element that became a signature of early McDonnell jet fighters.

A Brief but Historic Career

A Historic Landing: On July 21, 1946, Commander James Davidson made the first-ever landing and takeoff by an all-jet aircraft from a U.S. carrier, the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt, using an FH-1.
The “Phantom Knights”: Marine Fighter Squadron 122 (VMF-122) became the first Marine squadron to be equipped with jets when they received the FH-1 in 1947. They were famously known as the “Phantom Knights” and formed the first Marine jet aerobatic team.
Rapid Obsolescence: Because engine technology was advancing at a breakneck pace, the FH-1 was underpowered by the time it reached full squadron strength. It was quickly replaced by its larger, more powerful successor, the F2H Banshee.
Preservation: Only 62 Phantoms were built. Today, rare survivors can be found at the Nacionalinis oro ir kosmoso muziejus ir National Museum of Naval Aviation.
