The F-4E introduced the internal M61A1 Vulcan cannon, leading-edge maneuvering slats, and the AN\/APQ-120 fire control radar — transforming the Phantom from a pure missile platform into a true dogfighter. The F-4G Wild Weasel V took the airframe in a radically different direction, replacing the cannon bay with the AN\/APR-38 (later AN\/APR-47) Radar Homing and Warning System to create the definitive USAF Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) platform of the Cold War era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis collection assembles 20 primary-source USAF Technical Orders, McDonnell Aircraft engineering publications, and factory documentation covering flight operations, illustrated parts breakdowns, armament systems, avionics, electronic intelligence systems, electro-optical targeting, ground handling, and Wild Weasel-specific systems — spanning the full operational life of both variants from 1967 through the early 1990s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDocument Manifest — 20 Primary-Source Documents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.

The slats deploy automatically based on AOA, extending the aircraft's effective combat envelope and reducing the violent pitch-up tendencies that characterized earlier variants at high AOA. Cockpit AOA is read in arbitrary indicated units (0–30), with optimum approach at 19.2 units, pedal shaker activation at 22.3 units, and true aerodynamic stall between 26–30 units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePowerplant — General Electric J79-GE-17\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F-4E\/G is powered by twin J79-GE-17 turbojets — an uprated variant of the J79 series delivering 11,870 lbs dry thrust and 17,900 lbs with afterburner per engine. The 17-stage axial compressor uses variable stator vanes to prevent compressor surges across the full Mach envelope. Automated variable-ramp intake systems regulate internal air velocity to maintain subsonic flow at the compressor face during supersonic profiles. The Variable Exhaust Nozzle (VEN) relies on engine oil pressure for actuation — asymmetrical VEN positioning produces immediate EGT spikes and thrust degradation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePerformance Envelope — F-4E\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMetric\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Speed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMach 2.21 (1,430 mph) at 36,000 ft \/ Mach 1.19 (914 mph) at sea level\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInitial Climb Rate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e61,400 feet per minute\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eService Ceiling\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e62,250 feet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Takeoff Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e61,651 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWing Area \/ Span\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e530 sq ft \/ 38 ft 5 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eF-4G Wild Weasel V — SEAD Configuration\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F-4G replaced the M61A1 Vulcan cannon with the AN\/APR-38 (later AN\/APR-47) Radar Homing and Warning System in the nose bay, adding 52 antennas across the airframe to provide 360° radar threat detection and classification. The Wild Weasel mission — Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses — required the F-4G to actively hunt and destroy surface-to-air missile systems using AGM-45 Shrike, AGM-78 Standard ARM, and ultimately the AGM-88 HARM anti-radiation missiles.
