The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is an American multirole fighter, interceptor, and air superiority fighter manufactured by Grumman Aerospace Corporation. The final production variant was named the F-14D Super Tomcat. The Super Tomcat 21 was a proposed variant which was never built with the United States Navy instead selecting the less-expensive Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet.
The F-14 is a carrier-capable supersonic, twin-engine, twin-tail, variable-sweep wing fighter aircraft. It served as the U.S. Navy's primary maritime air superiority fighter, fleet defense interceptor, and tactical aerial reconnaissance platform.
Summary[]
| “ | The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is a two-crew, variable wing-geometry, maritime air superiority fighter that served with the US Navy for 32 years and continues to serve with the IRIAF in Iran. The F-14 was the US Navy's frontline fighter from the 1970s to the mid-2000s. Over the course of its long service it also became one of the US Navy's premier precision ground-attack platform and its lone airborne reconnaissance asset. Noteworthy features of the Tomcat are its swing-wing configuration, two-man crew, and the powerful AN/AWG-9 Weapons Control System (WCS) and radar. The AWG-9 allows employment of the long-range AIM-54 Phoenix air-to-air missile, and the LANTIRN targeting pod allows precision ground strikes using laser-guided bombs. The F-14 Tomcat was present in several historic events that include the two Gulf of Sidra incidents, Operations Desert Storm Iraqi Freedom, the Yugoslavian conflict, and Operation Enduring Freedom over Afghanistan. It was also immortalized in the iconic motion picture, Top Gun, and starred in several other feature films including The Final Countdown, Executive Decision, and others. The Tomcat was also played a vital role in the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s, where is flew for the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force. |
