The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is a supersonic, twin-engine, swing-wing fighter aircraft developed for the United States Navy and introduced into service in 1974.
Its primary roles in the US Navy were as an air superiority fighter, reconnaissance aircraft, and fleet defense.
The F-14 received its first upgrade to the F-14A Plus (or F-14A+) in March 1987.
The F-14A's TF30 engine was replaced by the improved GE F110-GE-400 engine.
The state-of-the-art RHAW (ALR-67 Radar Homing and Warning) system was also installed.
Most of the avionics components and the AWG-9 radar were retained.
The F-14A+ was renamed the F-14B on May 1, 1991.
A total of 38 new aircraft were produced and 48 F-14As were converted into B variants.
