87254 1/72 A-4E Sky Hawk
A-4E Sky Hawk - The A-4 Skyhawk was designed in response to a US Navy call for a jet-powered attack aircraft to replace the older A-1 Skyraider. The new design would minimize size, weight, and complexity. The result was an aircraft that weighed only half of the Navy's weight specification. It had a wing so compact that it did not need to be folded for carrier stowage A-4E, included a new J52-P-6A engine with 8,400 lbf 37 kN of thrust, strengthened airframe with two more weapon pylons for a total of five, improved avionics, with TACAN, Doppler navigation radar, radar altimeter, toss-bombing computer, and AJB-3A low-altitude bombing system. Many later upgraded with J52-P-8 engine with 9,300 lbf 41 kN thrust.
