Description
The final single-seat Skyhawk model, the A-4M,
was developed for the US Marine Corps.
Around the same time that the A-7 Corsair II began being deployed to the
US Navy and the main carrier attack aircraft was replaced from the A-4 to the A-7, the US
Marines began using the A-4M for ground attacks instead of the A-7. It was adopted as a machine.
The engine of the M type was replaced with a J52-P-408A, and
the intake became larger accordingly.
The outline of the vertical tail has also been changed to an angular shape.
A large type windshield is also installed. The electronic equipment has also been significantly updated,
including the fin tip radome on the vertical tail, the LST in the nose, and the ALR-54/ALQ-126 in the nose and tail.
