General Dynamics F111 Aardvark by Edwin Hoogschagen
Developed in the 1960s by General Dynamics, the F-111 pioneered variable-sweep wings, afterburning turbofan engines, and automated terrain-following radar for[-]low-level, high-speed flight. Its design influenced later variable-sweep wing aircraft, and some of its advanced features have become commonplace. Being relatively[-]expensive to maintain amid post-Cold War budget cuts, the USAF elected to retire its F-111 fleet during the 1990s.
Edwin Hoogschagen has been studying Dutch aviation history since the late 1990s and specialises in Fokker types from the interbellum. His main activities are focused on the Fokker G-1 and Fokker C.5. Since 2001, he has been a member of the Fokker G-1 establishment and, from 2007 onwards, a committee member.
