A Navy evaluation to determine the potential advantages and disadvantages of in-flight thrust control (IFTC) on a tactical airplane was conducted using a modified F-11A airplane as a testbed. The conceptual development program also utilized a second unmodified F-11A for baseline data and pilot familiarization training. Flying qualities, performance, engine effects, durability, and utility of IFTC to mission tasks such as air combat maneuvering (ACM), air-to-ground weapons delivery, approach and waveoff, landing roll-out and infrared signature suppression were evaluated during the 6-month program. The prototype IFTC in the configuration evaluated increased the tactical capabilities of the F-11A airplane despite the limited capability of the testbed, indicating potential increases in tactical capabilities of future fighter/attack airplanes which incorporate thrust control capability.
