	[1.0] Phantom Variants
		Robinson's Phantom was fitted with specially modified J79s featuring water-methanol injection, which cooled the engines to raise the redline limit and provided greater exhaust mass flow to increase thrust.
		The Phantom was fitted with a suite of avionics gear, including a "Tactical Air Navigation (TACAN)" system, which used ground beacons for guidance; a radiocompass; a radio altimeter for low-altitude flight; an air data computer; "identification friend or foe (IFF)" gear; and a UHF radio.
		One of the particular limitations of the Phantom was that it had been designed basically as an interceptor and strike aircraft, not a dogfighter, and maneuverability had suffered as a result.
