The North American F-107 is North American Aviation's entry in a United States Air Force tactical fighter-bomber design competition of the 1950s. The F-107 was based on the F-100 Super Sabre, but included many innovations and radical design features, notably the over-fuselage air intakes. The competition was eventually won by the Republic F-105 Thunderchief, and most of the F-107 prototypes ended their lives as test aircraft. One is on display at the National Museum of the United States Air Force and a second at Pima Air and Space Museum.F-107NAA XF-107A.jpgRoleFighter-bomberNational originUnited StatesManufacturerNorth American AviationFirst flight10 September 1956Retired25 November 1957StatusCanceledPrimary usersUnited States Air ForceNACANumber built3Developed fromNorth American F-100 Super Sabre.
