F-14D Tomcat – historical background

The F-14D Tomcat is the most advanced version of the famous American carrier-based fighter, manufactured by Grumman and serving with the United States Navy during the Cold War and modern times (the 1990s – 2006). The aircraft took part in operations in the Middle East, served aboard USS aircraft carriers, and was a symbol of American air superiority at sea. The latest F-14D variant was distinguished by the use of GE F110 engines and advanced avionics, which also influenced the design and variety of the exhaust nozzles.
