The North American F-86 Sabre is a transonic jet fighter aircraft that was widely used during the Korean War. Introduced in the late 1940s, it was known for its distinctive swept-wing design, which allowed for better performance at high speeds. The F-86 was primarily powered by a single General Electric J47 engine and could reach speeds of over 600 miles per hour. The F-86 Sabre played a crucial role in air combat, engaging in dogfights against the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15. Its advanced avionics and armament, including six .50 caliber machine guns, made it a formidable opponent. The aircraft's success helped establish the United States' air superiority during the conflict.
