Airplane models of the F-5 Tiger later
evolved to the F-5G Tigershark
The F-5 freedom fighter, manufactured by Northrop, is 47'
2" long, 13' 2" high and has a wingspan of 25' 3". The empty weight was
10,567 lbs and the max gross weight was 25,145lbs. The F-5's used 2
General Electric J85-GE-21
jet engines
each producing 3,500 lbs of thrust and with afterburner they produced 5,000 lbs
of thrust producing a maximum thrust of 10,000 lbs. The F-5 had a max
speed of 1,030 mph a cruise speed of 640 mph, climbed at 32,700 feet per
minute and had a max range of 1,462 miles. The early F-5's, described
above later evolved into the F-5G which used a single engine producing much more
thrust and provided a less complex design. The F-5G was later called the
F-20 Tiger Shark which was in direct competition with the
General Dynamics
F-16 Falcon. Since General Dynamics won the contract with its
F-16 falcon
the F-20 (F-5G) was never put into mass production and never saw service in our
military. I once spoke to a head engineer about the F-20 Tiger Shark about
why it didn't win the contract for production. He was reluctant to talk
about this aircraft since its specs were very secret at the time, but he said
the government wanted ever increasing performance and capabilities and a lower
cost. Never the less, the F-16 won the
contract and that is the plane which is seen in many services throughout the
world. You can see the Yellow Airplane Kids Group visitation
to see the
F-16 at the 183rd Fighter
Squadron by ing here.
