History of the F-14 Eagle:

The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is an American supersonic, twin-engine, two-seat, twin-tail, variable-sweep wing fighter aircraft. It was the first such U.S. jet fighter with twin tails. The Tomcat was developed for the United States Navy's Naval Fighter Experimental (VFX) program after the collapse of the F-111B project. The F-14 was the first of the American Teen Series fighters, which were designed incorporating air combat experience against MiG fighters during the Vietnam War.

Why we chose the F-14 platform:

We have decided to enter into this contract and chose a outdated aircraft for our platform. We chose the F-14 series of planes due to their payload capacity and it’s Mach 2 cape abilities.at EAGLE TECHNOLOGIES.inc
We are about maximizing the potential of our aircraft, old and new. We took the F-14 and striped it down to the basics. We installed: a top of the line air to ground targeting system. Moved around some hard points to open up more space for bigger bomb/s and load out options. Because we striped it down before rebuilding it the gun placement was moved and the length and caliber were shortened. Due to this we could fit more ammo and have a higher fire rate. And we were able to upgrade the breaking power and wheel grip, But the one down side to these improvements is the airframes rigidity. Because of this steep angles of landing results in the front gear assembly collapsing, so shallower approaches are highly recommended.

[ it is recommended to land the plane at low angles due to the gun placement and structure rigidity]
