Grumman F-14 Tomcat

The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is a supersonic, twin-engine fighter aircraft developed for the U.S. Navy. Famous for its distinctive variable-sweep wings, the F-14 was designed primarily for air superiority and fleet defense. It can carry a variety of weaponry, including air-to-air missiles, making it effective in both interception and long-range combat. Introduced in the 1970s, the Tomcat is well-known for its role in the movie "Top Gun" and has a reputation for agility and advanced radar systems, allowing it to track multiple targets simultaneously. The F-14 was retired from service in the U.S. Navy in the mid-2000s.
