In 1980, an Iranian F-14 shot down an Iraqi Mil Mi-25 helicopter for its first air-to-air kill during the Iran–Iraq War (1980–1988). [19], With time, the early versions of all the missiles were replaced by more advanced versions, especially with the move to full solid-state electronics that allowed better reliability, better ECCM and more space for the rocket engine. [41] The F-14 would normally fly at a cruising speed for reduced fuel consumption, which was important for conducting lengthy patrol missions. First wheel sets mode, last four sets code.

Two triangular shaped retractable surfaces, called glove vanes, were originally mounted in the forward part of the wing glove, and could be automatically extended by the flight control system at high Mach numbers. With flaps up and DLC disengaged forward rotation retracts maneuvering flaps/slats and aft rotation extends them. [54] In 1985, Iran started Project Sky Hawk, attempting to adapt I-Hawk surface-to-air missiles, which Iran had in its inventory, for F-14s. Can be moved up/down and forward which is the designate position. Due to DCS limitations in regards to IFF the AA1 control panel is currently non-functional. [20] There is also an air-to-air refueling probe, which folds into the starboard nose.

The F-14C was a projected variant of this initial F-14B with advanced multi-mission avionics. [18], Firing trials involved launches against simulated targets of various types, from cruise missiles to high-flying bombers. With the TF30, the F-14's overall thrust-to-weight ratio at maximum takeoff weight is around 0.56, considerably less than the F-15A's ratio of 0.85; when fitted with the General Electric F110 engine, an improved thrust-to-weight ratio of 0.73 at maximum weight and 0.88 at normal takeoff weight was achieved. Usually set automatically with the knob in the detent position. Rightmost tape shows actual wing-sweep position. The ACM and Emergency jettison are not disabled by the MASTER ARM.

[34] The Tomcat was to be a platform for the AIM-54 Phoenix, but unlike the canceled F-111B, it could also engage medium- and short-range threats with other weapons. During their final deployment with Theodore Roosevelt, VF-31 and VF-213 collectively completed 1,163 combat sorties totaling 6,876 flight hours, and dropped 9,500 lb (4,300 kg) of ordnance during reconnaissance, surveillance, and close air support missions in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

For high-speed intercept, they are swept back and they swing forward for lower speed flight. In addition, one or more of Iran's F-14A was delivered to the Soviet Union in exchange for technical assistance; at least one of its crew defected to the Soviet Union. The Mirage F.1 fighters were eventually responsible for three confirmed F-14 kills. Beginning in the late 1950s, the U.S. Navy sought a long-range, high-endurance interceptor to defend its carrier battle groups against long-range anti-ship missiles launched from the jet bombers and submarines of the Soviet Union. Allows manual opening of the canopy if system pressure is too low. The modified missiles were successfully tested in 1986 and one or two were used in combat, but the project was abandoned due to guidance problems.[53].
