Feb. 26, 2012 - The Republic F-105 Thunderchief ''World's Most Powerful Fighter-Bomber'' Sleek, Saucy, Supersonic: The U.S Air Force's latest ''Sunday Punch'' is the supersonic F-105 Thunderchief - ''world's most powerful fighter-bomber'', built by Republic Aviation Corporation, Farmingdale, L.I., and slated for service with USAF's Tactical Air Command. The new ''Century Series'' fighter was designed as a complete weapons system and is capable delivering heavy loads of nuclear or conventional weapons internally or externally over great distances at much faster-than-sound speeds. The single Pratt & Whitney J-75 turbojet engine develops pounds of thrust, not counting the added power of its afterburner. The Thunderchief incorporates many advanced design features such as swept-forward air-intake ducts located at the wing roots which inhale air at tremendous speeds without ''choking'' the engine with supersonic shock waves; an area rule or ''coke bottle'' shaped fuselage; a ventral fin on the bottom of the aft fuselage for greater stability; a one-piece flying tail and radically different ''clover-leaf'' speed brakes that form the last 36 inches of the fuselage and unfold like the petals of a blossoming flower when operated in flight. The F-105 is equipped for in-flight refuelling and has a drag chute for slowing down during landing. It is 63 feet long and has a wing span of nearly 35 feet. Its speed, armament, rate of climb and service ceiling are still on the secret list. (Credit Image: Keystone Pictures USA/ZUMAPRESS)
