The A7 aircraft, specifically the McDonnell Douglas A-7 Corsair II, is a carrier-capable attack jet that was primarily used by the United States Navy and United States Air Force. Introduced in the 1960s, it was designed for close air support and ground attack missions, featuring a low-wing design and a single turbofan engine. The A7 is notable for its advanced avionics and precision strike capabilities, allowing it to deliver a variety of munitions effectively. It served in several conflicts, including the Vietnam War, and was eventually retired in the 1990s, replaced by more modern aircraft.
