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").
