Description
In mid-1980's, U.S. Navy awarded the ATA (Advanced Tactical Aircraft) program as a replacement for the A-6 Intruder. The key improvement over the existing aircraft was stealth ability. In 1988, General Dynamics / McDonnell Douglas were selected to develop a subsonic twinjet carrier-based ATA for attack at night or in bad weather, the A-12 Avenger II. The principal program office set up at GD, McDD responded for the project design. The 1st prototype was expected to complete in 1990. After 3 years of work, the A-12 contractors revealed serious engineering problems and budget overruns, which caused the 1st flight delay. In 1991, secretary of Defense terminated the A-12 contract after the prototype completion failure. In 1993, the Forth Worth Aviation Heritage Association launched the A-12 restoration program. General Dynamic provided the A-12 engineering hardware for this restoration. The full-scale mock-up was finally completed and displayed in the museum at Alliance Airport, Forth Worth. Specifications: Wingspan- 21.42m, Length- 11.35m, Height- 3.43m, Power- General Electric F412-400 turbofan x 2, Crew- 2, Max speed- 580mph. Full scale mockup was publicly displayed for the 1st time on 1996, at the Carswell JRB Open House in Fort Worth, Texas
