Description
- Equipped with the AWG-9 fire control system, the F-14A can track up to 24 targets and conduct simultaneous attacks on up to 6 targets using Phoenix missiles.
- Features a unique variable-sweep wing controlled by a computer to maintain the optimal sweep angle: the wings extend for increased lift at low speed, sweep back to reduce drag at high speed, and fold when on the carrier deck to save space.
- The fire control system uses a nose-mounted radar to detect and track targets and guide missile engagements, with missile launches operated by the pilot.

Key specifications
- Crew: 2
- Wingspan (maximum, wings fully extended): 19.54 m
- Length: 18.90 m
- Height (ground to top of vertical tail): 4.88 m
- Engines: 2 x Pratt & Whitney TF30-P-412
- Thrust: 4,763 kgf each; with afterburner 9,480 kgf each
- Maximum speed: Mach 2.34
- Armament: 1 x 20 mm M61A1 Vulcan cannon

Notes
- Thrust is the force produced by the engine exhaust.
- An afterburner is a device that increases thrust by re-igniting exhaust gases in the engine exhaust to produce additional power.
