Aug 4, 2016 · At the close of World War 2 (1939-1945), with the jet age dawning on engineers and military warplanners, it became apparent to the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) that it required a "penetration fighter" of considerable performance to escort accompanying bomber formations deep into enemy territory and back.

Oct 3, 2022 · Instead of using the open inlet like the Sabre, the YF-93 relocated the air inlets to the fuselage sides, with the nose used to accommodate an SCR-720 interception radar. The inlets were of NACA duct design, intended to provide a more efficient and streamlined air intake than scoop intakes that were more common.

Jan 15, 2020 · YF-93远程战斗机虽然是从F-86C战斗机的基础上发展而来的，但是在外形上却做了较大的改变。 除了整体尺寸变得更大之外，YF-93战斗机还将进气道从机头位置移到了机身两侧，因此YF-93战斗机还是很好辨认的。 美国空军对YF-93战斗机的性能还算比较满意，但是因为当时YF-93战斗机所使用的的J-48-53发动需要优先供应给其他机种，导致YF-93战斗机无疾而终。 还有一种比较有意思的F-86战斗机改型是F-86D战斗机，F-86D战斗机在项目之初是以F-95的编 …

History of the North American YF-93. At the end of World War II (1939-1945), as engineers and military war planners began to enter the jet era, the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) realized they needed a lot of "penetrating fighter" performance to provide accompanying escort bomber formations deep into enemy territory and back.

The YF-93 was initially a development of the North American F-86 Sabre fighter and designated the F-86C. It was intended as a ‘Penetration Fighter’ to escort long range heavy bombers and therefore enlarge to accommodate enough fuel to give the fighter twice the range of the F-86.
