The General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark is a retired supersonic, medium-range, multirole, combat aircraft. Production models of the F-111 had roles that included attack (e.g. interdiction), strategic bombing (including nuclear-weapons capabilities), reconnaissance, and electronic warfare. Its name "Aardvark" comes from a long-nosed, insect-eating South African animal.
The F-111 was an all-weather attack aircraft, capable of low-level penetration of enemy defenses to deliver ordnance on the target. The F-111 featured variable-geometry wings, an internal weapons bay, and a cockpit with side-by-side seating. The cockpit was part of an escape crew capsule. The wing sweep varied between 16 and 72.5° (full forward to full sweep). The wing included leading-edge slats and double-slotted flaps over its full length. The airframe was made up mostly of aluminum alloys with steel, titanium, and other materials used in places. The fuselage was made of a semimonocoque structure with stiffened panels and honeycomb structure panels for skin. The horizontal stabilizer was an all-moving stabilator.
The F-111 used a three-point landing-gear arrangement, with a two-wheel nose gear and two single-wheel main landing-gear units. The landing-gear door for the main gear, which was positioned in the center of the fuselage, also served as a speed brake in flight. Most F-111 variants included a terrain-following radar system connected to the autopilot. The aircraft was powered by two Pratt and Whitney TF30 afterburning turbofan engines. The F-111's variable-geometry wings, escape capsule, terrain-following radar, and afterburning turbofans were new technologies for production aircraft.
The F-111E was first ordered in 1968. Its first flight occurred on 20 August 1969 and achieved initial operational capability late that year. 94 F-111Es were delivered between 1969 and 1971. Many F-111Es were assigned to the 20th TFW at Upper Heyford, UK until 1991. It saw action during the Gulf War. Some F-111Es received an Avionics Modernization Program and improved TF30-P-109 engines in the early 1990s. All were retired to AMARC by 1995.
