Yoyodyne F-100B Voodoo

Another former SAI product that is built by Yoyodyne is the F-100B Voodoo, an improved version of the Nammer fighter/bomber.

 

The top speed of Mach 1.72 (1,825 km/h / 1,134 mph), and a range of 2, 460 km/1528 mi, with capability of aerial refuelling was retained. The cockpit is still quite cramped, but the new windshield provides better visibility, and make the aircraft easier to fly. Further aerodynamical improvements were made, and a full power-operated control with an "artificial feel" was built into the aircraft to give the pilot forces on the stick that were still conventional, but light enough for superior combat control. This resulted in better manoeuvrability, and all in all an easier aircraft to fly.

 

Still a stable platform, both for air-to-air and air-to-ground engagements, the Voodoo is expected to soldier on in Voightland’s service for at least another ten years.

 

This one is carrying two large AGM-14 Walleye missiles, six 227 kg/ 500 lb GP bombs, a Python II missile, and an ECM pod.
