The Skyhawk was developed during the early 1950s on behalf of the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps as a replacement for the propeller-driven Douglas A-1 (AD) Skyraider. The A-4 is by comparison, a compact, straightforward, and lightweight aircraft for the era. Its max takeoff weight of 24,500 pounds being roughly half of the Navy's weight specification. The Skyhawk has a short-span delta wing configuration, a tricycle undercarriage, and is powered by a single turbojetengine. The U.S. Navy issued a contract for the aircraft on 12 June 1952. On 22 June 1954, the XA4D-1 prototype performed its maiden flight and went on to set a world speed record of 695.163 mph on 15 October 1955.
