It succeeded in breaking the speed of sound in level flight. It was the world's first practical supersonic fighter. It was powered by a single Pratt & Whitney J57 turbojet engine. It achieved a maximum speed of Mach 1.3. As fixed armament, it was equipped with four M39 20mm engines. It was capable of equipping and operating Sidewinder, Bullpup, and other missiles and nuclear bombs. The F-100 as an air control fighter was later developed into a fighter-bomber type based on military requirements. The C and D models were developed with additional hardpoints to increase armament carrying capacity and to improve cruising range. The D-type first flew in 1956. In the 1960s, it was deployed in the Vietnam War as a ground attack aircraft.
