he A-7 was developed during the early 1960s as replacement for the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk. Its design is derived from the Vought F-8 Crusader; in comparison with the F-8, the A-7 is both smaller and restricted to subsonic speeds, its airframe being simpler and cheaper to produce. Following a competitive bid by Vought in response to the United States Navy's (USN) VAL (Heavier-than-air, Attack, Light) requirement, an initial contract for the type was issued on 8 February 1964. Development was rapid, first flying on 26 September 1965 and entering squadron service with the USN on 1 February 1967; by the end of that year, A-7s were being deployed overseas for the Vietnam War.

Initially adopted by USN, the A-7 proved attractive to other services, soon being adopted by the United States Air Force (USAF) and the Air National Guard (ANG) to replace their aging Douglas A-1 Skyraider and North American F-100 Super Sabre fleets. Improved models of the A-7 would be developed, typically adopting more powerful engines and increasingly capable avionics. American A-7s would be used in various major conflicts, including the Invasion of Grenada, Operation El Dorado Canyon, and the Gulf War. The type was also used to support the development of the Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk.

The A-7 was also exported to Greece in the 1970s and to Portugal in the late 1980s. The USAF and USN opted to retire their remaining examples of the type in 1991, followed by the ANG in 1993 and the Portuguese Air Force in 1999. The A-7 was largely replaced by newer generation fighters such as the General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon and the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet. The final operator, the Hellenic Air Force, withdrew the last A-7s during 2014.
In 1960, officials within the United States Navy (USN) began to consider the need to replace its existing fleet of Douglas A-4 Skyhawk, a light attack aircraft.[2] At that time, it was not clear that the A-4 would eventually remain in production until 1979; furthermore, according to aviation authors Bill Gunston and Peter Gilchrist, some figures believed there to be an unmet requirement for a more capable attack platform that could routinely attain supersonic speeds, carry heavier payloads, and fly further than its predecessors. Proponents of a new attack aircraft included Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, who urged the Navy's consideration on the matter.[2]

    @WholeLottaBread Activationgroup = GS>300 or smth like that
    where 300 = the airspeed in m/s

    @WholeLottaBread Haha don't worry, there's an easy solution
    Just make engines that turn on and off at certain airspeeds

    I appriciate it and i really tried to do realisric Thrust, i made it faster and it accelerated too fast, made it slower and it accelerated too slow, i made the drag low and power high to make fast acceleration yet it went too fast and all this was kinda confusingl because i swear i have some kind of thinking disability cus i cant understand simple ass things@Kangy

    This is a looking good build
    But there are a fair few mistakes which could've been fixed...
    Firstly, dimensions.
    When you start building I highly recommend you make a rod that is the length of the aircraft (in this case the rod should be 14.06 metres (or 46 ft and 2in)
    Once you have that, bring up your blueprint and build from there. I also recomend a rod for the wingspan as that's another key thing you got wrong here.
    Wing area is a bit small too but it's explained by the size which is alright (edit: did some basic maths equations for the wing area and you actually got it really good for the size of this thing, bonus points to you!)
    Also your Thrust/Weight ratio is bonkers lol, it should be about 0.5 not 3.96, nearly 4 times over, try to get it by doing some maths and using the stock engines and configuring them using the xml editor to change the power xml value (forgot what it was called lol) Strangely It doesn't reach top speed which I found really odd
    Other than that I really like this build, ticks most of the boxes for looks and the suspension on the fixed varient is great! Top job!
