Even though P-47 was originally designed as an escort fighter, its ability to fly after receiving extensive damage and great payload capacity also made it a popular ground attack aircraft. Tricycle landing gear is retractable. First XF-84 was flown on February 28, 1946. The aircraft soon went in production and a number of F-84 were used in the Korean war. The fuselage is narrow with a swept tail fin and a long probe projecting forward from the nose.
Rear fuselage continues far past the trailing edge of the fin.
A rounded ventral fin is also present. Shoulder-set tapered wings are swept. Low-set tailplane is swept. Tricycle landing gear is retractable. First F-105 was flown on October 22, 1955.
