North American F-107A Supersonic Experimental and Research Aircraft Family

The North American F-107A was a supersonic strike-fighter prototype distinguished by a dorsal variable-area inlet and a high-speed research role that outlived its short production competition. Three prototypes were completed; two later flew for NACA at the High-Speed Flight Station, extending the design value from tactical-aircraft development into experimental aerodynamics.
