这 洛克希德F-94星火 was a first-generation jet aircraft of the United States Air Force. It was developed from the twin-seat Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star in the late 1940s as an all-weather, day/night interceptor. The aircraft reached operational service in May 1950 with Air Defense Command, replacing the piston-engined North American F-82 Twin Mustang in the all-weather interceptor role. The F-94 was the first operational USAF fighter equipped with an afterburner and was the first jet-powered all-weather fighter to enter combat during the Korean War in January 1953. It had a relatively brief operational life, being replaced in the mid-1950s by the Northrop F-89 Scorpion and North American F-86D Sabre. The last aircraft left active-duty service in 1958 and Air National Guard service in 1959.

这 洛克希德F-94星火 是一种喷气式拦截机,于 1950 年至 1958 年在美国空军服役。它旨在提供全天候、昼夜防御敌方轰炸机,尤其是苏联图波列夫图-4。F-94基于洛克希德T-33流星教练机,但机头更长,以容纳雷达和火控系统。它还配备了一个加力燃烧室,这提高了速度,使其成为第一架具有此功能的美国空军战斗机。
F-94有两名机组人员:一名飞行员和一名雷达操作员。主要武器 F-94战斗机 机头有四挺0.50英寸机枪,后来的版本还携带空对空火箭。F-94被部署在防空司令部和空军国民警卫队的各个单位,并在朝鲜战争期间参加了战斗行动,在那里它声称对敌机取得了几次胜利。F-94最终被更先进的拦截机所取代,如诺斯罗普F-89“蝎子”和北美F-86D“佩刀”。
