Jan 19, 2017 · On November 22, 1961, U.S. Marine Corps Lt. Col. Bob Robinson flew the modified Phantom to an absolute world record speed of 1,606.342 mph. The RF-4X mock-up contrasts a stock intake (right) with the enlarged version for the PCC. (Courtesy Jay Miller) The General Dynamics team applied those same lessons to what was now designated the F-4X.

F-4X was a 1960s program pursued by the US Navy in search of substantial upgrades to the extant F-4 fleet due to the ongoing issues with F-111B. All designs were offered with a new version of AN/AWG-10 using solid state electronics to enable track while scan operation of …

The F-4X would have featured an increase in engine thrust by 150% to allow dash speeds of Mach 3.2, cruise at Mach 2.4, and flight up to 78,000ft (23,775m) altitude

The F-4X and RF-4X were proposals for advanced F-4E derivatives designed by General Dynamics to carry the HIAC-1 long focal length camera as part of Project Peace Jack. This project was a joint Israel-USAF study for an advanced photo-reconnaissance aircraft capable of …

Feb 13, 2019 · RF-4X Mach 3 Hellraiser In the 1970s, the Israeli Air Force wanted a reconnaissance aircraft capable of carrying the imposing HIAC-1 camera. The F-4 was considered, but the G-139 pod that contained the sensor was over 22 feet long and weighed over 4000 pounds – and the Phantom did not have the power …

Aug 1, 2024 · An F-4X, a Phantom that could sustain over three times the speed of sound in dashes and cruise at Mach 2.4, was the result. However, the US Air Force lost interest in the F-4X when it realized it was going to get the high-performance F-15A.

An illustration of the proposed RF-4X from the early 1970s. This was to be a highly modified version of the F-4E Phantom II capable of attaining Mach 3 for short periods. This would be possible by used more advanced inlets with water injection for pre-compressor cooling.

Jul 4, 2017 · Artist rendition of RF-4X in flight. Image via General Dynamics First camera attempts were too heavy. The first examples of HIAC-1 were heavy- the prototype camera system weighed over 3,500 lbs, much more than any other camera system in use at the time (excepting the very big Boston Camera carried by the B-36 and C-97 in the 1950s that weighed ...

Jun 18, 2015 · The new PCC setup for the F-4X would “mist” the water into the engine, thus preventing moisture buildup inside the engine. To make the most of PCC, the air intake inlets were redesigned with larger scoops and a redefined shape, improving the airflow moving into the compressor chambers.

1.三马赫的rf-4x 在20世纪70年代时，以色列空军希望拥有一款能够携带HIAC-1相机的侦察机，原型初步考虑使用鬼怪，但这相机很大，装有这款相机及相应传感器的G-139吊舱长度高达22英尺，重量高达4000磅，鬼怪携带之是无法保证能在敌对空域生存的。
