During the Vietnam conflict, there was a recognized need for close air support on small targets. In response, the Fairchild Republic Industries A-10 Thunderbolt II was selected for production after an experimental development program began in the early 1970s. The A-10 was designed to operate on unimproved short fields, possess both high and low airspeed maneuverability, have easy maintenance, long loiter times and range, excellent pilot protection, and have a capacity for large mixed weapons loads. The A-10, nicknamed the "Wart Hog" by its pilots, is a large single-seat aircraft with a pair of TF-34-100A high bypass fan jet engines mounted high near the rear of the twin-tailed fuselage. It has a length of 53'4", a height of 148", a span of 576", and a maximum gross weight of 47,400 lbs, in.
