■Product Description
The F-86 Sabre was a jet fighter developed as a successor to the P-51D Mustang, with the prototype XP-86 making its maiden flight on October 1, 1947.
The F-86E was an improved version of the first production model, the F-86A, equipped with the J-47-GE-13 engine, and featured improvements to the control system and a movable horizontal stabilizer. However, lessons learned from aerial combat with MiG-15s in the Korean War led to further modifications.
This is the F-86F, which made its first flight in March 1952. It was powered by a J-47-GE-27 engine with a thrust of 2,760 kg. Its armament included six 12.7 mm machine guns, as well as the ability to mount various missiles and bombs under the wings. Furthermore, its armor protection was strengthened, and partway through production, the leading-edge slats on the wings were eliminated, the chord was slightly extended, and boundary layer plates were added to prevent wingtip stall.
These are the F-86F-25 and -35.
As a result, the F-86F gained superior dogfighting capabilities compared to the MiG-15 and achieved great success in the later stages of the Korean War. However, it was later discovered that using leading-edge slats in combination with this extended chord (generally called the 6-3 leading-edge wing) resulted in superior maneuverability at all speeds, so leading-edge slats were reattached.
This is known as the F-86F-40.
The F-86F-40 was the main aircraft adopted by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force from 1956 (Showa 31), and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries domestically produced this later model with leading-edge slats. However, a small number of aircraft that had been supplied by the U.S. Air Force before that were equipped with the older boundary layer plates, and some were modified by the Japanese side to have leading-edge slats, like the RF-86F.
The Japan Air Self-Defense Force had more than 330 F-86F aircraft in total, including those supplied by the U.S. military, those produced under knockdown, and those produced under license by Mitsubishi.
