It was originally designated A4D under the United States Navy's pre-1962 designation system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Skyhawk was developed during the early 1950s on behalf of the U.S. Navy and United States Marine Corps as a replacement for the propeller-driven Douglas A-1 (AD) Skyraider. The A-4 is by comparison, a compact, straightforward, and lightweight aircraft for the era. Its maximum takeoff weight of 24,500 pounds (11,100 kg) being roughly half of the Navy's weight specification. The Skyhawk has a short-span delta wing configuration, a tricycle undercarriage, and is powered by a single turbojet engine. The U.S. Navy issued a contract for the aircraft on 12 June 1952. On 22 June 1954, the XA4D-1 prototype performed its maiden flight; it went on to set a world speed record of 695.163 mph on 15 October 1955. On 1 October 1956, the Skyhawk was introduced to operational service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MRC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50620601041061,"sku":null,"price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0664\/2685\/files\/IMG_20260902_160458419-r.jpg?v=1791520669","url":"https:\/\/pangsmodelsandhobbies.com\/products\/douglas-a-4-oa-4m-skyhawk-marines-1-72-scale-plastic-model-kit-assembly-required-by-italeri","provider":"Pang's Models and Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
