HISTORY

Building on the success of the Mathews Aircraft F-1 Fire, introduced in 1985, the Mathews Aircraft Corporation embarked on a mission to develop an upgraded, more advanced version of this highly respected fourth-generation air superiority fighter. The result of this endeavor was the F-4 Fogueira, unveiled in 1995. The F-4 Fogueira was designed to incorporate modern technologies and improvements, ensuring its relevance and superiority in a rapidly evolving aerial combat environment.

The development of the F-4 Fogueira began in the early 1990s, driven by the need to enhance the capabilities of the F-1 Fire while addressing the changing demands of modern warfare. The project aimed to maintain the core strengths of the F-1 Fire, such as its agility and firepower, while integrating new avionics, improved engines, and advanced weapon systems. The F-4 Fogueira quickly gained attention for its upgraded performance and capabilities, becoming a crucial asset for air forces around the world, especially those in need of a cost-effective yet powerful fighter jet.
