Arguably the most famous and beloved American jet fighter, Grumman's F-14 Tomcat, still firmly holds the public's attention in its cat claws well over a decade after it was retired from U.S. Navy service.
The Super Tomcat 21 grew out of a previous proposal made by Grumman after the collapse of the A-12 program called Quick Strike. Quick Strike was meant to be an upgrade for existing F-14s by giving them high-end navigation and targeting pods similar to what the USAF used, along with upgraded ground attack modes for F-14D's APG-71 radar and the ability to carry more standoff weapons.
If the Super Hornet hadn’t been built, Grumman’s next-gen Tomcat may have become a reality. We forensically recreated it in these awesome renderings.
