Its history begins in February 1964, when Vought (today LTV Aerospace) was commissioned to develop the design of a new deck plane for the US Navy, intended to replace the A-4 Skyhawk, with greater payload and range. The project was developed on the basis of the F-8 Crusader, adapting it to subsonic flights. The flight of the A-7 prototype was made in 1965, and serial production started a year later. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Corsair II resembles the Crusader silhouette, but the wing wedge angle was not changed; it was redesigned, increasing the number of suspension knots to 6, and - apart from flaps and ailerons - saws and spoilers, a device for hydraulic wing folding was also introduced.
