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).
