A-10 Thunderbolt (Warthog) Ground Attack Aircraft, USA

The Warthog, the Flying Gun and the Tankbuster are all names that the A-10 Thunderbolt goes by. It is designed to provide air support to ground forces by attacking tanks, armoured vehicles, infantry and installations. One of the requirements was that it was heavily armoured so that it had a high-survivability rate in hostile arenas. As the aircraft would be working from forward air bases it had to have short take-off and landing capability. It was required to have a long range and endurance so that it could loiter in the battle area. To enable it to have accurate, effective targeting and weapon delivery over all types of terrain it had to be manoeuvrable at low speed and low altitude. The A-10 Thunderbolt (warthog) ground attack aircraft meet all of these requirements.

The A-10 Thunderbolt first flew in May 1972 and was originally manufactured by Fairchild. Northrop Grumman took over the contract in 1987. The upgraded A-10C first flew in January 2005 and has increased the aircrafts service life to 2028. The single-seat cockpit is protected with a titanium 'bathtub' structure that gives all-round armor, to protect the pilot. It is up to 3.8cm thick. The good all-round vision cockpit canopy has a large bulletproof bubble. It is a versatile aircraft and can be fitted with a variety of weapon systems. It can be flown at night and has stand off capabilities.
