这 通用动力 F-111C （绰号"Pig"）是F-111阿尔德瓦尔克中程穿插和战术攻击机的变种，由通用动力公司开发，以满足澳大利亚的要求。该设计基于F-111A模型，但包括更长的机翼和增强的底盘。澳大利亚政府于1963年订购了24架F-111C装备澳大利亚皇家空军（RAAF），但由于长期存在的技术问题，飞机直到1973年才交付。

General Characteristics and Role
The General Dynamics F-111C is a variant of the F-111 Aardvark swing-wing interdictor and tactical strike aircraft, specifically developed for the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). It combined the F-111A’s fuselage with the larger, longer-span wings of the FB-111A strategic bomber, along with a strengthened undercarriage to handle heavier weights. Known affectionately as the “Pig” by RAAF crews for its long snout and terrain-following capability, the F-111C served as Australia’s primary long-range strike and reconnaissance platform from 1973 until its retirement in 2010. Its key features were the variable-sweep wings, terrain-following radar, and an escape crew capsule.

Powerplant and Performance
- Engines: Two Pratt & Whitney TF30-P-100/109RA afterburning turbofans.
- Maximum Thrust (P-100/P-109RA): Approx. 80 kN dry / 112 kN afterburner (P-100); 92.7 kN dry / 121 kN afterburner (P-109RA).
- Maximum Speed (High Altitude): Mach 2.5 (2,655 km/h / 1,650 mph).
- Maximum Speed (Sea Level): Mach 1.2 (1,390 km/h / 865 mph).
- Combat Radius (Hi-Lo-Hi): Approx. 2,140 km (1,330 mi) with combat load.
- Ferry Range (Max Fuel): Approx. 6,115 km (3,800 mi).
- Key Technology: Terrain-Following Radar (TFR) coupled to the autopilot for automatic, high-speed, low-level flight penetration.
Armament and Avionics
- Internal Weapons Bay: Could carry two M117 750 lb bombs, one nuclear weapon, auxiliary fuel, or the 20 mm M-61A1 Vulcan rotary cannon (seldom fitted).
- External Hardpoints: 9 total (8 under-wing, 1 under-fuselage).
- Capacity: Up to 14,288 kg (31,500 lb) of ordnance.
- Swiveling Pylons: Four underwing pylons pivot with the wing sweep to maintain alignment.
- Armament Capability:
- Conventional Bombs: General purpose bombs (Mk-82, Mk-84).
- Guided Munitions: Laser-Guided Bombs (LGBs) using the AN/AVQ-26 Pave Tack pod (fitted in the weapons bay).
- Missiles: AGM-84 Harpoon anti-ship missile, AGM-142 Stand-Off Weapon, and AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles for self-defense.
- Reconnaissance Role: Four aircraft were converted to the RF-111C variant, carrying a pallet of cameras and sensors (like the panoramic KA-56E and AN/AAD-5 Infrared Linescanner) in the weapons bay.
