Manufactured by North American Aviation, Inc, the F-86F Sabre is an all-metal, single-place, high-perform. ance day-fighter, powered by an axialflow turbojet engine. This version of the Sabre has the familiar swept- back wing and empennage configuration, typical of all F-86 Series Airplanes, The aigplane is equipped with a conventional, fully retractable tricyele landing gear, and has slocted.type flaps and fuselage mounted speed brakes. To maintain desirable handling characteristics through: oot the speed range of the airplane, the ailerons and horizontal tail are actuated by an irreversible hydraulic control system, The use of irreversible controls necessi tates the inclusion of an artficial-feel system to simulate desired aerodynamic feel, and has the advantage of providing comfortable stick forces. In addition, the elevator and stabilizer are interconnected and controlled a8 one unit, with the result chat the entire horizontal tail assembly serves as an effective primary control surface.

NOTE These gross weights are average values. For the gross weight of a particular siplane, refer to the Handbook of Weight and Balance Dats, T.0, 1-18-40, assigned to the airplane. ARMAMENT. ‘The airplane has six .50.caliber machine guns. The addi: tion of removable racks permits the airplane to carry bombs, rockets, or missiles (F-86F-25 and later airplanes changed by T.O. 1F-86F-533) on the lower surface of the wings. An automatic lead computing sight, coupled with radar ranging equipment, is furnished for gun 2ad rocket firing and bomb release, (Refer to “Armament Equip. ment” in Section IV for detailed information.) ENGINE, ‘The engine (figure 1-5) is a General Electric J47-GE-27 axial flow, turbojet unit, having a rated sea-ievel static thrust of approximately 6090 pounds. Air is supplied co the engine, from an intake in che nose of the airplane, by means of a “straight through” duct, which passes under the cockpit, In engine operation, the air is routed to che Changed 23 Nevember 1962 axialflow compressor, where it is compressed progres- sively in 12 stages. This compressed air then flows to eight combustion chambers, where it mixes with atomized fuel injected into the chambers. The combustion of this mixture occurs continuously once ignition has been estab- lished during engine starting. From the combustion chambers, the hot exhaust gases pass through the single. stage eurbine and out the tail pipe in gradually expanding form, to provide the high-velocity jet and reaction thrust, ‘The turbine, rotated by the exhaust gases, is connected to, and drives, the compressor and engine accessories. A bulk head, which serves as a fire wall, separates the engine compartment from the cockpit and forward fuel tank. ‘The engine compartment is divided into ewo compart. ments by a fire wall; the forward compartment contains the relatively cool compressor and accessory sections of the engine, and che aft compartment includes the engine combustion chamber and curbine section and the tail pipe. ENGINE AIR INTAKE SCREENS. ‘The engine is equipped with eight simultaneously actu- ated, retractable-type intake screens. Screen position is pilot-controlled. The screens should be extended during ground operations to prevent forcign objects from enter- in flight, the screens should be retracted ing the engine: to avoid ice formati Section | Cer Poor Ped at Drea coer eet Dard ret DROP TANKS [Not Applicable Eon Eee ced Crome po plane gross weight (approximate) DearS 14,800 POUNDS. | i4aso rounos 16,550 POUNDS 16,600 POUNDS 16,965 POUNDS.

Figure 1-4 ENGINE ANTI-ICING SYSTEM. Al parts of the engine that have an exposed frontal area, except for the ait intake screens, have icing pro- tection. The engine front frame struts and the inlet guide vanes are heated continuously and automatically by aie bled from the engine compressor. (See figure #1.) A control switch in the cockpit permits heated air from the engine compressor section to be directed to the engine island fairings and the accessory cover bullet. To avoid overheating the accessories, a thermestatic switch within the accessory section regulates the flow of heated air to the fairings and accessory section. Turning this system oon also retracts the engine air intake screens to preclude che formation of ice on the screens. ENGINE FUEL CONTROL SYSTEMS. Fuel flow co the engine is regulated by a dual fuel con- trol sistem consisting of main system and an emer- gency system, The major units of the main system are Gaplicated in the emergency system, which is used to ‘maintain fuel flow to the engine if the main system fails, ‘ain Fuel Control System. hhe main fuel control system (figure 1-14) is controlled y the throttle, and includes the main element of an agine-driven, coustant-output dual fuel pump, a main 6 fuel regulator, and a fuel control valve. Since pump out. put is constant for any given rpm, it is the function of the main fuel regulator to determine the amount of fuel the engine receives for varied operating conditions, and to maintain the selected rpm regardless of altitude and/or airspeed changes. The regulator, operated by mechanical linkage from the throttle, regulates fuel flow to the engine according to throttle setting, engine pm, and altitude, by adjusting the position of the fuel control valve, (No fuel passes through the regulator.) The fuel control valve is basically 2 variable bypass valve and responds to regulator control by varying the amount of fuel directed to the engine. It bypasses the fuel not needed for the particular operating condition back to the main element of the fuel pump. A constant-speed gover- nor, effective in the range from approximately 30% (0 100% engine rpm at sea level, is incorporated in the regulator. The governor maintains constant engine speed within its range for the selected throttle setting and pre- vents overspeed during rapid alticade and attitude changes.

Emergency Fuel Control System. ‘The emergency fuel control system (figure 1-14), con sisting of che emergency element of the engine-driven dual fuel pump and an emergency Fuel regulator, may be used to maintain engine operation if failure of the main fuel control system occurs. During normal ope ation, the emergency system is not engaged, since leccrical (de) power holds the emergency regulator inoperative so that it continuously bypasses the rotal output of the emergency segment of the fuel pump. ‘When the emergency fuel system is engaged, it assumes control nf fuel ow to the engine and the main fuet system regulacor is electrically (dc) disabled, so. that 110 the cotal output of the main system element of the fuel pump is continuously bypassed. The emergency regu. lator, which is mechanically actuated by the throttle, compensates for altitude changes to maintain approxi- macely che xpm selected by the throttle setting. How. ever, this regulator is not provided with a governor as is the main fuel segalator and, consequently, provides peicher precise speed regulation nor overspeed protection, NOTE the emergency fuel regulator is set t0 give 99% rpm on a 100°R day, and therefore will provide somewhat less than 99% at lower ambient temperatures, (See figure 2-4.) Engine Fuel System Stopcock. Located downstream of the main and emergency fuel cconcrol systems, the fuel stopcock (figure 1-14) is a posi- tive, high-pressure fuel shutoff valve actuated through Changed 21 August 1964 1.0, 1F-86F-1 mechanical linkage by throttle movement. Initial move- ment of the throttle from OFF to IDLE partially opens the stopeock, which acts as a metering valve up to about 15 degrees of throttle movement, The stopcock is fully ‘opened by additional throttle movement past the IDLE position, Fuel System Flow Divider, The engine fuel system flow divider (figure 1-14) is downstream of the stopeack aad directs fuel co one or both engine fuel manifolds, depending on engine oper- ating conditions. (‘The small-slot manifold is used during starting and is also used in conjunction with the large. slot manifold for normal operation.) To facilitace starting, the flow divider directs fuel through only the smnallslot manifold when fuel pressure is approximately 50 psi or less. At pressures above this, the flow divider routes fuel through the large-slor manifold as well as through the small-siot manifold for normal operations. The flow divider is controlled by fuel pressure, and its ‘operation is completely auromatic, ENGINE CONTROLS. Throttle (Power Control). Engine power is controlled by the throttle (10, figure 1.9; 10, figure 1-12), which is in a qoadrant on the left side of the cockpit, The chrottle is spring-loaded inboard and actuates the main and emergency fuel regu- lators and the fuel stopcock by means of mechanical cage. When the engine master switch is ON, the ini- tial outboard movement of the throttle from OFF starts both the fore and aft fuel booster pumps, and urns on the ignicion circuit when the starter is energizes sequent movement of the throttle to 1DLE opens the fuel stopeock. (Ignition is automatically cut off when engine speed reaches approximately 234% rpm.) With the engine running, additional throttle advancement produces a corresponding increase in engine rpm. To prevent inad- vertent shutting off of the fuel supply (by closing the fuel stopcock) when the throttle is retarded, a stop, is provided on the throttle quadrant between the DLE and OFF positions. Outboard movement of the throttle allows the stop to be bypassed when the engine is being started or stopped. The throttle grip (figure 1-9) contains the electrical caging burton for the sight, che microphone button, and che speed brake switch. Rota- tion of the grip aifords a means of manually supplying range daca to the sight system, Adjustment of throttle Heel friction is concrolled by turning the wheel (21, figure 1-10; 22, figure 1-12) on the inboard face of the Section | i) ucnorHone wuTTON Manus RANG SPR (Onoeo 10 Wau couNTER Eiocewse Postion) Pi grip Figure 1-9 Engine Master 5) he ‘The ewo-position engine master switch (Ggure 1-15), ‘on the right forward console, is protected by a channel- type switch guard, Ic supplies primary bus power for controlling engine aad fuel system units.

The switch must be ON for starter and ignition circuits to be engaged. (On some airplanes,* the starter circuit may be energized with the engine mas ter switch at either ON or OFF.) Ignition is supplied when the engine master switch is ON, only after the battery- starter switch is held momentarily at staRTen, and the throxtle is moved outboard from oFr. When the engine master switch is moved to OFF, the fuel booster pumps ace turned off and the fuel shutoff valve is closed.

Emergency Fuel Switch. The emergency fuel switch (38, figure 1-6; 34, igure 1-7) is on the upper left corner of the instrument panel th the emergency Fuel switch OFF, primary bus power is directed to 2 solenoid which mechanically holds the emergency fuel regulator in the full bypass position. The emergency fuel switch should be OFF for all flight conditions except where actual failute of the main fuel system eccais: When the emergency fuel switch is OM, rapid throttle advancement can cause compressor stall or Flame-out, This makes the emergency system inoperative, because the total ouspur of the emergency element of the fuel pump is bypassed. Thus, che emergency system is pre- vented from overriding the main system during normal operation. 7 If, during engine operation, CA primary bw power faire switch is moved co OFF when generator output Js not available, the emergency fuel system may ake over automatically, regardless of emer geacy fuel switch position, Subsequent rapid throttle advancement can cause the emergency Changed 21 August 1964 system to override the sain system, resulting ia complete power failure asa result of engine over- speeding or compressor stall. ‘The emergency fuel switch should be maintained at OFF for all flight conditions except in case of actual main fuel control system malfunction. When the emergency Jf fuel switch is at ow, the holding circuit tothe emergency ~ regulator is broken and the main fuel system regulator is electrically (dc) disabled, allowing the emergency system to assume conttol of fuel flow to the engine.

To do so may cause dangerous engine overheating or compressor stall, Engine Anti-ice ond Screen Switch. ‘The engine anti-ice and sereen switch (figure 1-15) con- trols, by means of primary bus power or secondzry bus power,é the flow of heated air co the engine island fairings and accessory cover bullet, as well as controlling the extension and retraction of the engine air intake screens. Located on the left forward console, the switch hhas three positions. Wich the switch at EXTEND, the intake screens are extended simultaneously into the intake Airstream to keep objects from entering the engine. The scteens should be extended during all ground operations. Setting the switch 2¢ arr, retracts the screens simul- aneously. During flight, it is important that the screens be retracted to prevent the possible formation of ice on the screens, which would impair engine operation, or cause complete engine fail in-flight icing con- ditions prevail or are possible, the switch should be moved to the ANTLICE position. This retracts the screens, as well as directs hot air from the engine compressor sec- tion co the engine island fairings and accessory cover bullet. The flow of hot air to these areas is shut off auto- matically by a thermostatically controlled switch when: ever accessory cover temperature exceeds 40°F. Moving the switch from ANTEICE also shuts off the flow of hot ENGINE INDICATORS. Exhaust Temperature Gage. ‘The exhaust temperature gage (15, figure 1-6; 18, fige ure 1-7), on che instrument panel, indicates engine --B86F-20 and later airplanes SF-86F-1 through F-86F-15 Airglanes Section 1 1.0. 1F-86F-1 FORWARD CONSOLE Note F-86F-1 through F-86F-15 #'~.‘anes do not hhave the lending geat watnin: Tight fst buton.

Gage indica- tions are received from bayonet-type thermocouples mounted in the forward section of the tail pipe. The temperature indicator system is of the self-generating type and, as such, does not require power from the air plane electrical system. NOTE On some F-96F-35 and F-86F-40 Airplanes, the ‘gage is rotaced t0 position the 690°C red radial at the top. This provides for more accurate reading of the gage. Tachometer. The tachometer (20, figure 1-6; 17, figure 1-7), on the instrument panel, registers engine speed in percentage of maximum rated rpm (7980). This indication, when used in conjunction with that of the exhaust tem- perature gage, permits engine thrust to be accurately set without exceeding engine limitations. The tachom- ‘eter receives its power from the tachometer generator, which is geared to the engine rotor shaft, and there- fore does not depend on the airplane electrical system. Fuel Pressure Gage.* ‘The fuel pressure gage (17, figure 1-6), on the instru- sment panel, electeially records fuel pressure. The gage is operated by three-phase ac power. Fuel Flowmeter and Totali The fuel flowmeter (22, figure 1-6; 20, figure 1-7), on the instrument panel, shows the rate of fuel low in pounds per hour and includes a cotalizer dial which indicates the aumber of pounds of fuel remaining. (The totalizer dial is not included on the fuel dowmeters on F-86F-20 Airplane AF51-13110 and all later airplanes.) A knob on the flowmeter is used to preser the totalizer to corre spond to the quantity gage indication (total pounds of fuel in tanks before take-off). The uncompensated total- iner indication, however, will not continuously coincide swith the density-corrected fuel quantity gage as fuel is consumed, On most airplanes,* the flowmeter system is operated by single-phase ac power. On other airplanes} the flowmeter system is operated by three-phase ac power. OTE Foct flowmeters incorporating a totalizer dial that indicates the amount of fuel cemaining or the amount of fuel consumed should not be relied upon for accurate fuel indicaioas. Major errors are ioherent in the insirument because of wide fenperature variations and the chemical F-86F-1 through F-86F-20 Airplanes, F-86F-25 make-up of the fuel, Accurate fuel-remaining data can be obtained only from the fuel ‘quantity gage. Oil Pr ‘The oil pressure gage (13, figure 1-6; 15, figure 1-7), fon the instrument panel, registers engine oil pressure in pounds per square inch, Electrically operated, the ‘gage receives power from the ehree-phase ac bus. sure Gage. ENGINE IGNITION SYSTEM. ‘The engine ignition system, consisting of an ignition control ‘relay, « dual ignition vibrator unit, four trans- formers, and two dual spark plugs, is used only during engine starting, as combustion is continuous after the ‘engine has been started, During a normal start, ignition ‘occurs automatically when the throttle is moved out- board from oFF, provided the engine master switch is at on and the battery-starer switch has been held momentarily at STARTER to energize the starter circuit, For ignition, de power is routed through the ignition vibrators to the transformers, which supply high-cension ac voltage to the spark plugs Jocited in combustion chambers 3. and 7. The ignition circuit is opened auto- matically when the starter disengages at an engine speed of approximately 23% rpm. A manually controlled emer- gency ignition system is provided for supplying ignition during air start Engine Master Switch, Refer to “Engine Controls” in chis section. Emergency Ignition Switch. A means of manually controlling the ignition circuit for engine start in flight is provided by the guarded emergency ignition switch (figure 1-15) on the right forward console. Provided the engine master switch is on, setting the emergency ignition switch on and advancing the throttle from OFF permits primary bus power to energize che emergency ignition circuit. The ‘emergency ignition switch should not be used for starts fon the ground, and the switch must be moved to OFF to de-energize the ignition cireuit. Operation of the emergency Caution ignition citcuie is limited to a maximum of 3 minutes per start, Longer periods of use, or too frequent use, will damage the ignition vibrator units. Emergency ignition should be used for air anes AF51-13170 through -13510 and AFS2-5272 through -5446, and F-86F-30 Airplanes AF52-4305 through -4904 iF-86F-25 Airplanes AF52-5447 through -5530, F-86F-30 F-86F-35 and later airplanes irplanes AFS2-4905 through -5163, and 19
