The F-105 Thunderchief-still remains the biggest single seat fighter ever produced. In it's final flight, F-15s had problems keeping up with it.
-
The 105 could only stay in inverted flight for 10 or so seconds. It did not have dual oil slumps.
-
@everythingman987 Yes.

@StiviGun1 are you 2 going to talk forever?
-
@PhantomP63 As for the North American Aviation aircraft, they had a lot of aircraft design experience from WW2. The fact that they were pushed away from the US military aircraft designing industry was a HUGE loss for the US aeronautics and space industry.
-
@PhantomP63 My bad :))
-
@StiviGun1 ? I said that I agree with the saying "they never made a bad-looking airplane".
-
@PhantomP63 Are you telling me that the F-107 was a bad looking airplane? Even if it was, looks is not important, but the capabilities & performances that aircraft has. And the F-107 had much better performances.
As 4 documentation, here is a shot clip where the competition is mentioned. I'll look 4 more send the links.

@StiviGun1 Whoever said NAA never made a bad-looking airplane was right...
Have you found any documentation on the competition?

@PhantomP63 The F-107 and the Super Sabre are 2 very different things. North American Aviation used their experience from the Super Sabre to build the F-107. They called the F-107 a very improved Super Sabre variant. The F-107 was much more reliable than the F-105. It also had much better performances & avionics. It actually had a sort of a fly-by-wire controls. The F-107, just like the XF-108 & every other North American Aviation's products from the '50s was fare ahead of its time.
Just saw this beauty at a museum today, very nice aircraft.

Trust me they're huge, but then when I saw the F-111 right next to it I almost had a heart attack, I looked down the vectors into the engine, it went all the way into the inside, IT WAS A BEAST, and luckily too, the 105 could still fly.
