About The A-7E Corsair II
The LTV A-7 Corsair II was developed in the first half of the 1960s to meet a United States Navy requirement to replace the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk and piston-powered A-1 Skyraider. Derived from the Vought F-8 Crusader airframe, the A-7 featured a large frontal air intake beneath the cockpit, 35° foldable swept wings for carrier operations, and a modern head-up display to enhance effectiveness.
With multiple underwing hardpoints, the A-7 could carry an impressive load of conventional bombs, Paveway guided bombs and air-to-surface missiles. The A-7E was the final production variant for the U.S. Navy, with improved capabilities including the use of Harpoon anti-ship missiles and AGM-88 HARM anti-radiation missiles.

The LTV A-7 Corsair II was designed and implemented in the first half of the 1960s to satisfy the specific United States Navy request to have a new carrier-capable light attack aircraft able to replace the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk and the piston-powered Douglas A-1 Skyraider. It was directly developed by the fighter Vought F-8 Crusade airframe. The A-7 was characterised by the large frontal air intake under tha cabin, by the 35° foldable swept wing to optimize the use and the storage on the aircraft carriers flight decks and by the adoption of a modern Head-up-Display to enhance the operational effectiveness. Thanks to its underwing hardpoints the A-7 was able to carry an impressive offensive load based on conventional bombs, guided bombs as the Paveway and air-to-surface missiles. The A-7E was the last version produced for the U.S Navy with an improved operational capabilities and the possibility to use the Harpoon anti-ship missiles and the AGM-88 HARM anti-radiation missiles.Key Info:
