The F-84 Thunderjet was a jet fighter-bomber developed by Republic Aviation in the late 1940s. It was designed for ground attack missions and played a significant role during the Korean War. The aircraft featured a straight-wing design and was powered by a single J35 engine, allowing it to reach speeds of over 600 miles per hour. Introduced in 1947, the F-84 was notable for its versatility, capable of carrying a variety of weapons, including bombs and rockets. It served in several air forces around the world and was eventually replaced by more advanced aircraft, but it remains an important part of aviation history.
