1. Grumman OV-1 Mohawk – U.S.A.
The Grumman OV-1 was created in the 1950s to replace the Cessna L-19 Bird Dog. The US Army utilized it as an all-weather surveillance and attack jet capable of outrunning and outpowering the Bird Dog. Grumman Aircraft Corporation won an award for the OV-1 Mohawk concept! The Mohawk was the first turboprop aircraft used by the United States Army. It performed admirably in a number of military missions. It was protected from small ground weapons by bullet-proof glass and an aluminum-alloy floor, and its mounted engines and big finned tails gave it remarkable maneuverability. At least one variation features a built-in camera and a more powerful side-looking radar, allowing it to scan the ground and provide tracking.
1. Hawker Siddeley Harrier GR.3 – United Kingdom
The Hawker Siddeley Harrier was based on the vertical/short take-off and landing concept, which had previously been tested. However, this was the first one to succeed. The GR.1 and GR.3 versions were ordered by the Royal Air Force (RAF). In the 1970s, the US Marine Corps got a significantly modified version called as the AV-8A. The GR.3 was a single-seat, single-engine jet with a wingspan of 25 feet and a length of 46 feet. It was propelled by a Rolls-Royce Pegasus 103 turbofan. On the tail, nose, and wingtips were four vertical flight puffer jets. It didn’t require large runways or ground infrastructure because of its V/STOL capability, as did all other aircraft at the period. During the Falklands War, it was crucial.
