XF-88 Voodoo Prototype Atlantis Recycled Cuffed Beanie

The XF-88 Voodoo, a dazzling prototype by McDonnell Aircraft, soared as a testament to innovation during the late 1940s and early 1950s. Designed to meet the United States Air Force's need for a long-range, high-speed escort fighter, the XF-88 combined sleek design with powerful performance. Although it never entered mass production, the Voodoo was a critical step towards the development of the legendary F-101 Voodoo, a mainstay of the Cold War era. The XF-88 featured cutting-edge technology of its time, including afterburning engines and a unique configuration that promised exceptional speed and range. Its role in pioneering mid-air refueling techniques further underscored its significance in aviation history. Despite its limited number, the XF-88 Voodoo remains a symbol of post-war aviation ambition, pushing the boundaries of speed, range, and design.
