The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is a carrier-capable supersonic, twin-engine, two-seat, twin-tail, variable-sweep wing fighter aircraft. Following the failure of the General Dynamics-Grumman F-111B project, the Tomcat was designed for the US Navy's Naval Fighter Experimental (VFX) program. The F-14, a large and well-equipped fighter, was the first of the American Teen Series aircraft, which were built to incorporate air combat experience against MiG fighters during the Vietnam War.
