F4D article in Air & Space magazine
The new issue of Air & Space magazine has an article about the F4D Skyray.
It goes into the positives and negatives of the aircraft's performance. The positive was that at altitude, that big delta wing gave it great turning performance. The negatives, however, were pretty severe. At approach to landing the plane was a real mess. One pilot remarked that because the landing gear did not all deploy at the same time, the result was that the plane skidded all over the place. It sounds like it must have been really tough to bring down on a carrier deck, although the article does not go into that. D |
