San Diego, CA: Convair [A Division of General Dynamics Corporation], 1958. Presumed second revised and rewritten version--Special Weapon Section changed. [Stated], Presumed First printing. Three-hole punched, disbound. 1, 178 pages. Three-hole punched. Illustrations. Pages 120 and 121 are fold-outs. RARE SURVIVING COPY. The major Table of Contents sections are Description, Major Assemblies and Components, Related Systems, Rigging and Adjustment, Electrical Checkout, Armament System Operational Checkout, Ground Operations and Loading/Unloading of Armament System; Trouble Shooting, Summary of Safety Precautions, and References. F-106A: Improved version of the F-102. Fitted with the MA-1 Integrated Fire Control System with SAGE datalink, J-75 afterburning turbojet, enlarged intake, variable-geometry inlet ramps and shortened intake ducts, refined fuselage shape, modified wings and tailfin; tailpipe fitted to reduce the tendency of the jet exhaust to blow unsecured objects around while taxiing, yet allowing virtually maximum performance at high thrust/afterburner settings. Performance was deemed unsatisfactory and modifications were made. The aircraft was capable of low supersonic speeds without afterburner and had a maximum altitude at least 57,000 ft. Many were fitted with a conically cambered wing for improved takeoff, supersonic and high-altitude flight. The aircraft was fitted with two streamlined external supersonic tanks that still kept the aircraft capable of sustained roll rates of 100 degrees per second. These tanks produced virtually no significant performance degradation were rarely jettisoned and were routinely carried. After 1972, many F-106s were refitted with a new canopy featuring improved visibility, improved optic sights and provision for a gunpack in the center weapons bay. More
