| F-14 Tomcat - definition of F-14 Tomcat in Encyclopedia (1319 words) |
 | The Tomcat was intended as an uncompromised air superiority fighter and interceptor, charged with defending carrier battle groups against Soviet aircraft armed with cruise missiles. |
 | The Tomcat also has a Mach Sweep Programmer (MSP) that automatically adjusts the wing angle for optimum flight performance (the only VG aircraft so equipped -- a similar system was tested but not used for the Panavia Tornado ADV), and movable glove vanes that improve airflow over the wings in fast turns. |
 | The Tomcat is said to be named for late Vice Admiral Thomas Connolly, whose testimony before the Senate was critical in the cancellation of the deeply-flawed TFX project (hence, "Tom's Cat"). |
