The Republic F-84F Thunderstreak is a swept-wing turbojet-powered fighter-bomber designed and produced by the American aircraft manufacturer Republic Aviation. The RF-84F Thunderflash is a variant of the F-84F that was designed for the photo reconnaissance mission.
The aircraft was originally intended to be a relatively straightforward upgrade to the Republic F-84 Thunderjet to make it more competitive with the North American F-86 Sabre, differing largely in the use of a swept-wing and tail. Given the small number of changes, it was assigned the next model letter in the F-84 series, F. The prototypes demonstrated a number of performance and handling issues, which resulted in marginal improvement over the previous versions. Production was repeatedly delayed and another run of the straight-wing Thunderjets were completed as the G models. Looking for a clear performance edge compared to the G models, the engine was upgraded to the much more powerful British Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire built in the United States as the Wright J65. The larger engine required the fuselage to be stretched into an oval shape and the air intake to be modified. With these and other changes, the design was finally...
