Czechnology Posted October 21, 2022 Posted October 21, 2022 Read the title and answer away. Did the Navy Phantoms ever take on the Agile Eagle slatted wings? I don't have any documentation on it that I know of, as I've been largely focused on getting Airforce documents on the E. Quick google searches yielded nothing that stuck right out at me, and I don't really want to go on an archive dig for something I'm not too concerned about until after the E comes out.
WinterH Posted October 21, 2022 Posted October 21, 2022 AFAIK, F-4S had the slats, but that happened fairly late into Navy F-4's career. F-4Js, not entirely sure if they got it or not. 2 Wishlist: F-4E Block 53 +, MiG-27K, Su-17M3 or M4, AH-1F or W circa 80s or early 90s, J35 Draken, Kfir C7, Mirage III/V DCS-Dismounts Script
Vampyre Posted October 21, 2022 Posted October 21, 2022 The J never got the slats. Early S models didn't have them either but were later retrofitted with them. The Slat setup on the Navy S was different than that installed on the E/F/G's. 1 1 Truly superior pilots are those that use their superior judgment to avoid those situations where they might have to use their superior skills.

Biggus Posted October 22, 2022 Posted October 22, 2022 S slats were different from E slats, from what I recall.
mytai01 Posted October 23, 2022 Posted October 23, 2022 I believe the F-4J was given wing slats and the slotted tail.

Your Google search had to be indeed quick if you missed wikipedia: Quote F-4S: F-4J modernized with smokeless engines, reinforced airframe, leading-edge slats for improved maneuverability. First flight July 1977; 302 converted.
