A member of the Century Series, the F-102 was the first operational supersonic interceptor and delta-wing fighter operated by the United States Air Force (USAF).\u003cbr\u003eThe F-102 was designed in response to a requirement, known as the 1954 Ultimate Interceptor, produced by USAF officials during the late 1940s. Its main purpose was to be the backbone of American air defences and to intercept approaching Soviet strategic bomber fleets (primarily the Tupolev Tu-95) during the Cold War. The aircraft was designed alongside a sophisticated fire-control system (FCS); however, a simplified unit had to be adopted due to development difficulties. It used an internal weapons bay to carry both guided missiles and rockets. On 23 October 1953, the prototype YF-102 performed its maiden flight; however, it was destroyed in an accident only nine days later. The second prototype allowed flight testing to resume three months later, but results were disappointing: as originally designed, the aircraft could not achieve Mach 1 supersonic flight.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Historic Sales","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48066343239845,"sku":null,"price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0664\/2685\/files\/HA3117_10_-r.jpg?v=1785387085","url":"https:\/\/pangsmodelsandhobbies.com\/products\/convair-f-102a-f-102-delta-dagger-54-1373-199th-fis-hawaii-ang-1960-1-72-scale-diecast-model-by-hobby-master","provider":"Pang's Models and Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
