The '''Republic F-84F Thunderstreak''' wasis an American [[swept-wing]] [[turbojet]] fighter-bomber. While an evolutionary development of the straight-wingpowered [[Republic Ffighter-84 Thunderjet|F-84 Thunderjetbomber]], the F-84F was a new design. The '''RF-84F Thunderflash''' was a [[Aerial reconnaissance|photo reconnaissance]] version.
 
The design was originally intended to be a relatively simple upgrade to the [[F-84 Thunderjet]] to make it more competitive with the [[F-86 Sabre]], differing largely in the use of a swept-wing and tail. Given the small number of changes, it was assigned the next model letter in the F-84 series, F. The prototypes demonstrated a number of performance and handling issues, which resulted in marginal improvement over the previous versions. Production was repeatedly delayed and another run of the straight-wing Thunderjets were completed as the G models.
 
Looking for a clear performance edge compared to the G models, the engine was upgraded to the much more powerful British [[Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire]] built in the United States as the [[Wright J65]]. The larger engine required the fuselage to be stretched into an oval shape and the air intake to be modified. With these and other changes, the design was finally ready to enter production, but only a fraction of the original production systems could be used and the aircraft was effectively a new design. It finally entered service in November 1954, by which time the Sabre had also undergone many upgrades and the Thunderstreak was relegated to the fighter-bomber role. Its time as a front-line design was brief, it began to be moved to secondary roles as early as 1958.
 
F-84Fs were then offered to [[NATO]] member countries and other allies, who took them up in large numbers. Operators included the [[Belgian Air Force]], [[Royal Danish Air Force]], [[French Air Force]], [[West German Air Force]], [[Hellenic Air Force]], [[Italian Air Force]], [[Royal Netherlands Air Force]], [[Royal Norwegian Air Force]], [[Republic of China Air Force]], [[Turkish Air Force]], and for a brief period using ex-French examples, the [[Israeli Air Force]].
 
==Development==
In 1948, a [[swept wing]] version of the F-84 was created with the hope of bringing performance to the level of the [[North American F-86 Sabre|F-86]]. The last production F-84E was fitted with a swept tail, a new wing with 38.5&nbsp;degrees of leading edge sweep and 3.5&nbsp;degrees of [[dihedral (aircraft)|anhedral]], and a [[Allison J35|J35-A-25 engine]] producing 5,300&nbsp;pound-force (23.58&nbsp;kN) of [[thrust]].<ref name="knaack">Knaack 1978, p. 42.</ref> The aircraft was designated '''XF-96A'''. It flew on 3 June 1950 with Oscar P. Haas at the controls.<ref>{{cite web |title=Chronology: 1950-1959 |url=https://www.airforcemag.com/chronology-1950-1959/ |website=Air Force Magazine |publisher=Air Force Association |access-date=29 January 2022 |date=24 November 2018}}</ref> Although the airplane was capable of 602&nbsp;knots (693&nbsp;mph, 1,115&nbsp;km/h), the performance gain over the F-84E was considered minor.<ref name="knaack"/> Nonetheless, it was ordered into production in July 1950 as the '''F-84F Thunderstreak'''. The F-84 designation was retained because the fighter was expected to be a low-cost improvement of the straight-wing Thunderjet with over 55&nbsp;percent commonality in tooling.<ref name="knaack"/>

Note the early style wing root jet intakes, which were eventually only retained on the RF-84F, due to the need to fit cameras in the nose. The standard F-84F reverted to the original nose intake due to a loss of thrust from the wing root intakes.|alt=]]
Line 56 ⟶ 59:
With the appearance of the [[Republic F-105 Thunderchief]], which used wing-root mounted air intakes of a similar design to those fitted on the RF-84F, the photorecon variant Thunderflash became known as the ''Thud's Mother''.<ref name="Higham2"/> The earlier F-84A had been nicknamed the "Hog" and the F-84F "Super Hog," the F-105 becoming the "Ultra Hog".
 
In what is probably one of the very few air-to-air engagements involving the F-84F, two Turkish Air Force F-84F Thunderstreaks shot down two Iraqi [[Ilyushin Il-28|Il-28 Beagle]] bombers that crossed the Turkish border by mistake during a bombing operation against Iraqi Kurdish insurgents. This engagement took place on 16 August 1962.<ref>Cooper, Tom. [http://www.acig.org/artman/publish/article_454.shtml "Europe & Cold War Database: Cyprus, 1955–1973."] ''Air Combat Information Group'', 26 October 2003. Retrieved: 8 September 2009.</ref>
 
The F-84F was retired from active service with the USAF in 1964, and replaced by the [[North American F-100 Super Sabre]]. The RF-84F was replaced by the [[McDonnell F-101 Voodoo|RF-101 Voodoo]] in USAF units, and relegated to duty in the [[Air National Guard]]. The last FRF-84F Thunderflash retired from the ANG in 1971. Three [[Hellenic Air Force]] RF-84Fs that were retired in 1991 were the last operational F-84s.

;[[Republic XF-84H Thunderscreech|XF-84H]]: Two F-84Fs were converted into experimental aircraft. Each was fitted with an [[Allison T40|Allison XT40-A-1]] [[turboprop]] engine of 5,850&nbsp;shaft horsepower (4,365&nbsp;kW) driving a [[supersonic]] propeller. Ground crews dubbed the XF-84H the ''Thunderscreech'' due to its extreme noise output.<ref name="knaack"/>
;YF-84J: Two F-84Fs were converted into YF-84J prototypes with enlarged nose intakes and a deepened fuselages for the [[General Electric J73]] engine; the YF-84J reached Mach&nbsp;1.09 in level flight on 7 April 1954.<ref name="knaack"/> The project was cancelled due to the excessive cost of converting existent F-84Fs.
