FH Phantom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The McDonnell FH-1 Phantom was a twin-engine jet fighter aircraft designed during World War II for the United States Navy. On July 21, 1946, a Phantom became the first combat jet aircraft to operate from an American aircraft carrier, the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt. In early 1943, McDonnell was invited by the U.S. Navy to cooperate in the development of a shipboard jet fighter, using an engine from the set turbojets under development by the Westinghouse Electric Corporation. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/FH-1_Phantom   (425 words)

FH-1 Phantom McDonnell built 62 Phantoms between 1945 and 1947, and by May 1948, the first all-jet squadron aboard a carrier was operational with FH-1 Phantoms on the USS Saipan. The McDonnell FH-1 Phantom was the first all-jet airplane ordered into production by the Navy and the Navy's first airplane to fly 500 mph. The McDonnell XFD-1 Phantom of the late 1940s should not be confused with the Douglas XFD-1, a biplane of the 1930s. www.globalsecurity.org /military/systems/aircraft/fh-1.htm   (396 words)

F-4 Phantom II : F-4 Phantom II production ended in 1979 after over 5,000 had been built--more than 2,800 for the USAF, about 1,200 for the Navy and Marine Corps, and the rest for friendly foreign nations. First flown in May 1958, the Phantom II originally was developed for U.S. Navy fleet defense and entered service in 1961. This later version was the mainstay of the USAF and USN Phantom II forces and served with the air forces of many countries including Australia, Britain, Greece, Israel, Iran, Japan, Spain, South Korea, Turkey and West Germany. www.wordlookup.net /f-/f-4.html   (671 words)

McDonnell FH-1 he McDonnell FH-1 Phantom was the first U.S. jet aircraft to take off from and land on an aircraft carrier, and subsequently it became the first U.S. jet fighter in operational service with both the Navy and Marine Corps.

Digital Wings Emerging after World War II as a small and relatively inexperienced company, McDonnell gave the US Navy in 1946 its first jet-powered carrier-borne fighter, the FH-1 Phantom (60 aircraft). The Phantom was the champion (127 aircraft) of the 1973 Yom Kippur War, hitting strategic targets deep inside enemy territory such as the Syrian general headquarters in downtown Damascus. The Phantom arrived in Israel at the height of the War Of Attrition (44 F-4E planes and 6 RF-4E), IAF crews mastered it's sophisticated weapons systems under fire, immediately striking enemy defenses along the Nile Delta and downing 5 MiGs 21 including those piloted by Russian "Advisors" in dogfights. www.kokopelli.org.uk /wings/phantom.html   (679 words)

NAS Grosse Ile Aircraft All Phantoms were built at the company's plant in St. Louis, and the last was delivered on May 27, 1948. The XFD-1 Phantom began when the U.S. Navy asked McDonnell to draft designs for a jet-powered fighter, and issued a contract for the twin-engined prototype on August 30, 1943. One of the more notable events in the FH-1's history took place during testing, when it took to the air on the power of only one engine, as the second powerplant was not available before the airframe was completed. nasgi.org /fh-1.htm   (292 words)

[1.0] Phantom Variants By this time, the Phantom was properly known as the "McDonnell Douglas" Phantom, as the two companies had merged in 1967. 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. www.vectorsite.net /avf4_1.html   (6595 words)

McDonnell F-4 Its predecessors were the FH-l Phantom (the Navy's first jet-powered aircraft to be carrier-based), the F2H Banshee, and the F3H Demon.
