What is f86d?

The F-86D Sabre Interceptor was a single-seat, all-weather jet fighter aircraft that served with the United States Air Force (USAF) and other NATO air forces from the mid-1950s through the mid-1960s. It was designed as an all-weather interceptor, featuring a radar system and guided missiles.

The F-86D was developed from the F-86A Sabre. It had an elongated nose section that housed the radar system. The aircraft was powered by a General Electric J47-GE-17 turbojet engine, which gave it a top speed of Mach 0.95 (or about 740 mph), and a range of approximately 1,000 miles.

The F-86D had a crew of one pilot and was armed with four 20mm M24A1 cannon. It could also carry Mighty Mouse and Falcon air-to-air missiles. The aircraft had a wingspan of 37 feet and a length of 42 feet. It weighed about 15,000 pounds when empty.

The F-86D was used by the USAF in the Korean War and later remained in service through the 1960s. It was eventually replaced by the F-102 Delta Dagger. In total, about 2,500 F-86D Sabre Interceptors were built.
