Flight comparison of the transonic agility of the F-111A airplane and the F-111 supercritical wing airplane [PDF]
A flight research program was conducted to investigate the improvements in maneuverability of an F-111A airplane equipped with a supercritical wing. In this configuration the aircraft is known as the F-111 TACT (transonic aircraft technology) airplane ...
