The A-7 Corsair II is a carrier-capable attack aircraft developed by Ling-Temco-Vought (LTV) for the United States Navy. First introduced in the 1960s, it was designed for close air support and ground attack missions. The aircraft features a low-wing design and is powered by a single turbofan engine, allowing for efficient performance and maneuverability. The A-7 was widely used during the Vietnam War and later in conflicts such as the Gulf War. Its advanced avionics and precision bombing capabilities made it a valuable asset for military operations. The aircraft was retired in the 1990s, replaced by more modern platforms.
