Description
 
The final "F" model Sabre F-86F-40 was first built for the Japanese Air Self Defense Force. It is significant in that its outer wing changed again from the F-25. The FAO's wing was leng thened by one foot on each side and returned to using leading edge slats. The longer wing again reduced the stalling speed and allowed slower landing approaches and shorter takeoff distances. Theresult was an overall improvement over Sabres with the 6-3 wing. The con version also improved the combat radius and the Sabre's high altitude maneuverability. Because of this, the United States Air Force converted all active duty Sabres to F-40 specification s beginning in March 1955 and added leading edge slats on ce again. North American built 280 F-86F-40 Sabres and Mitsubishi in Japan assembled 300 more.
