	XF-88 Voodoo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The McDonnell XF-88 Voodoo was a long-range, twin-engine jet fighter aircraft designed for the United States Air Force.
		The Voodoo's short nose had no radar, being intended to house an armament of six 20mm M39 cannon.
		In that fly-off, held in the summer of 1950, the Voodoo proved the winner, but changes in Air Force requirements led the penetration fighter to be cancelled entirely.

	F-101 Voodoo : XF-88 Voodoo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Initially designed as a long-range bomber escort (known as a penetration fighter) the design was modified to perform a number of roles; photoreconnaissance, interceptor and close air support[?].
		Voodoos used by the RCAF were given the CF prefix.
		According to Lansing Lamont in his 1965 book Day of Trinity, life at scientists were busily setting up test instruments in the desert, the and opened up with his twin.50-caliber machine guns.

	McDonnell F-101 Voodoo
		The McDonnell F-101 Voodoo twin-engined fighter was originally designed as a long range escort fighter to accompany the bombers of the Strategic Air Command if they were ever called upon to carry out their mission of nuclear strike against the Soviet Union.
		The Voodoo was destined never to serve in this particular role--it eventually emerged as a tactical reconnaissance aircraft, as a long-range interceptor, and as a nuclear strike aircraft.
		However, it was not without its flaws--in all its versions, the Voodoo had a tendency to pitch up into a nose-high attitude without warning, a problem which was caused by the way in which air flowed over its wings and under its high tail.

	McDonnell XF-88 Voodoo
		On June 11, 1948, the designation XP-88 was changed to XF-88 when the P designation was replaced by F. The name *Voodoo* was assigned, consistent wiht McDonnell's tradition of choosing the names of spirit-like apparitions for its aircraft.
		Although the F-88 never attained production status, it was the inspiration for the later supersonic F-101 Voodoo, which performed successfully in any number of roles, including penetration, escort, tactical strike, nuclear strike, photographic reconnaissance, interceptor, and conversion training.
		Following the completion of its testing, the XF-88A sat in a junkyard at Langley AFB in Virginia for several years.

		The Voodoo was more than fast enough (Mach 1.84 -- faster than the Arrow ever flew except for one flight at Mach 1.96), had range and manoeuvrability superior to the Arrow, and was a pilot's airplane (the Arrow faced costly re-engineering to overcome aerodynamic problems).
		This quirk would plague the Voodoo to its last days, the only attempt to rectify the problem being a stall warning horn and an enunciator light on the instrument panel (these to warn you that you were about to die!) and a stick pusher.
		The Voodoos left for Cold Lake on July 6 to be present for the formation of 409 (Tactical) Fighter Squadron with CF-18s.

		The XF-88 was underpowered and the second aircraft was modified to the XF-88A by adding afterburning engines which increased its maximum speed to approximately 700 mph.
		The XF-88A design was used as the basis for the F-101 "Voodoo".
		The original XF-88 was modified to XF-88B with the addition of afterburning turbojets and an Allison XT-38A turboprop.

	McDonnell F-101 Voodoo
		However, with the advent of high-speed, high-altitude jet bombers, escort fighters were not needed.
		Voodoos were primary used as all-weather interceptors and supersonic photo-recon aircraft (RF-101).
		As the RF-101, Voodoos were used widely for low-altitude photo coverage of missile sites during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis and during the late 1960s in Southeast Asia.

		The F-101 Voodoo began life as a response to a 1946 USAAF requirement for a long-range turbojet escort\interceptor.
		However, the Voodoo was too late to see action in the Korean conflict.
		It was put to good use as a reconnaissance plane in the Vietnam war, though, and continued to see active service in a variety of air forces until 1987, when the final Canadian Voodoo was retired.

		By the time F-101 production ended in March 1961, McDonnell had built 785 Voodoos including 480 F-101Bs, the two-seat, all-weather interceptor used by the Air Defense Command.
		In the reconnaissance versions, the Voodoo was the world's first supersonic photo-recon aircraft.
		The multimission F-101 Voodoo was used by all three U.S. Air Force Commands -- Strategic, Tactical and Air Defense.

		The Voodoo was built as a supersonic twin-jet fighter for the USAF.
		It was developed from the XF-88 and XF-88A experimental twin-jet, long range, penetration fighters which underwent succesful evaluation during 1949-1950.
		RF-101C Voodoo's, supplemented by RF-4C's from 1965, undertook a large scale of USAF Tactical Reconnaissance activities until the departure of the 45TRS from Tan-son-Nhut Air Base, RVN in November of 1970.

		F-101 Voodoos evolved out of McDonnell's XF-88 design, the prototype of which had been conceived and built as penetration fighters for escorting the far-ranging heavy bombers of Strategic Air Command (SAC).
		Twice as powerful as other fighters of the time, the Voodoo soon gained the world's absolute speed record of 1208 MPH.
		McDonnell also developed the two-seat F-101B, which was put into service with the Air Defense Command (ADC) in 1959.

		Moreover, instead of procuring the Voodoo solely as an interim fighter while an "ultimate" long range fighter was being developed, the Air Force decided that the latter would be obtained by improving early Voodoo productions.
		This meant that the initial production run of the basic aircraft would be kept to the minimum needed for comprehensive testing.

		During the Voodoos developement, SAC decided to eliminate the need for an escort fighter but Tactical Air Command decided they could use the aircraft as a fighter bomber dedicated in the nuclear strike role.

		This was the situation facing C.L. 'Kelly' Johnson, chief engineer of Lockheed, when in 1952 he set out to produce a fighter superior to anything being flown by the Communists over Korea.
		It was to be as small as possible, reversing the trend towards ever heavier aircraft exemplified by the Republic XF-91, McDonnell XF-88 Voodoo, and Lockheed's own XF-90.
		Small size, he reasoned, would permit a maximum speed about twice the speed of sound and great maneuverability on the power of only one engine, so cutting down on size, cost and complexity.

		Regarding the F-4 Phantom II, if you will take a look at McDonnell designs, you'll notice that once that got past the original FH Phantom I and F2H Banshee, the rear fuselage was small diameter and extended out above the engine exhausts.
		The F3H Demon, their only single engine, as I recall, and XF-88 Voodoo were like this and had low flat stabs.
		In order to get the stab in better air for control at high angles of attach, the F-101 Voodoo had a T-tail arrangement.
