The United States Douglas F5D Skylancer was a development of the F4D Skyray jet fighter for the United States Navy. Starting out as the F4D-2N, an all-weather version of the Skyray, the design was soon modified to take full advantage of the extra thrust of the Pratt & Whitney J57 eventually fitted to the Skyray instead of the Westinghouse J40 originally planned.

  • Because the differences to the F4D became greater, it was realized that the F5D wasn't a variant of the F4D anymore, so that the aircraft was renamed to F5D. The fuselage was completely redesigned and the aircraft was 2.4 m longer than before. Only the design of the wings remained basically the same. Despite that the F5D was equipped with four 20 mm cannons on the wings, its main weapons were missiles. It was able to carry four AIM-9 Sidewinders or two AIM-7 Sparrow, as well as 72 unguided 51 mm missiles.
