No mention of the droop nose There is only a fleeting mention of a big problem that the F4 Phantoms had in performing a landing on an aircraft carrier That is that such a landing requires a very nose high attitude which makes it difficult for the pilot to see his target the carrier The droop nose of the Tomcat coupled with the good lift at low speed provided by the swept forward wings which requires less angle of attack and hence not so much of a nose up attitude solves this problem This was one of the driving criteria of the aerodynamic design of the F14 This should be mentioned somewhere in the article
