The F-107 Ultra Sabre, North
The F-107 Ultra Sabre, North American Aviation's ambitious entry into the 1950s tactical fighter-bomber competition. Dubbed the "Man-Eater" for its unique overhead jet intake positioned just above the cockpit, the F-107 was an advanced prototype built on the successful F-100 Super Sabre airframe. Despite its innovative features, including an all-moving vertical fin and Mach 2 capabilities, the Ultra Sabre lost to the Republic F-105 Thunderchief.
In this video, we look at the F-107A's cutting-edge design, which allowed for additional ordnance under its belly, including four 20-millimeter cannons and up to 10,000 pounds of bombs or atomic payload.
We'll uncover why the F-107A, despite its promise, never went into production, marking one of the greatest missed opportunities in American military aviation history. Discover the story behind the last Sabre and the reasons it became a remarkable yet short-lived chapter in aviation history.
