The F-84 is Republic's entry into America's first generation of jet fighters. It was designed in 1944 in response to an Army Air Force request for a 600-mile per hour fighter. The first prototype flew in February 1946. The second prototype set an American speed record later that year. All versions of the F-84 except for the F-84F had straight wings. The F-84C used a slightly improved engine that allowed a heavier weight. A total of 191 F-84Cs were built.
