EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a United States Air Force North American NF-100F-1-NA Super Sabre (56-3725, msn 243-1) undergoing trials with the Air Research and Development Command in the late 1950s. The Super Sabre, a single-engine, supersonic fighter aircraft, is seen with an experimental thrust reverser fitted and an equipment fairing surrounding the nose pitot probe mounting. The addition of the thrust reverser was a significant development for the US Air Force, as it aimed to improve the aircraft's landing performance and reduce the wear and tear on the engines. The NF-100F was a variant of the F-100 Super Sabre, specifically designed for the research and development community. The successful completion of these trials led to the later re-designation of the aircraft to DF-100F. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of aviation and aeronautical engineering during the height of the Cold War era. The sleek lines of the Super Sabre, coupled with the experimental modifications, make for an intriguing study in the history of flight.
