About the Fairchild Republic A-10A Thunderbolt II
The need for close air support, on small pin point targets, was
recognized early during the Vietnam conflict. Following an experimental
development program begun in the early 1970 s, the Fairchild Republic
Industries A-10 Thunderbolt II was selected for production. The
performance characteristics demanded were for operation on unimproved
short fields, both high and low airspeed maneuverability, easy
maintenance, long loiter times and range, excellent pilot protection, and a capacity for large mixed weapons loads.
The appearance of the A-10 is remarkable while its performance is
amazing. Known affectionately as the Wart Hog by its pilots, its a
large single seat aircraft, identified by a pair of TF-34-100A high
bypass fan jet engines mounted high near the rear of the twin tailed
fuselage. A few of the specifications are: Length 53 4 height 148,
span 576 maximum gross weight 47,400 lbs, including 16,000 lbs of
external stores. Internal armament is the GAU-8/A 30 mm Gatling cannon
capable of 2100 or 4200 rounds per minute. It carries 1350 rounds of
ammunition, a fire control head-up display, CRT TV monitor, laser spot
seeker plus a diversified armament panel that can facilitate any
operational need. The A-10 has been around since 1972, and has again proven its worth during the recent Gulf war.
