The supersonic interceptor aircraft F-104
Starfighter was, without doubts, one of the most famous, and
long-lasting, aircraft in History. The F-104 entered in service in the
late ‘50s and served with USAF for a long time. Later on, it has formed
the fighter squadrons of several NATO air forces for more than 40 years.
F-104A was the first version and it was used by USAF as supersonic
interceptor in opposition to long-range soviet bombers. It entered in
service in the late ‘50s. To the improved version, F-104C, was assigned
the role of fighter-bombers and it was used during the early stage of
Vietnam War. The “Starfighter” was based and developed on an original
and unique concept for its time : innovative shape of the plane
extremely thin, small, straight mid-mounted, trapezoidal wings, the
stabiliator mounted atop the fin, a powerful and reliable General
Electric J-79 turbojet engine able to guarantee outstanding supersonic
performances.
