The F-4 Phantom uses boundary layer diverters on its engine inlets. It also featured a stability augmentation system. It is a Mach 2 fighter produced by McDonnell Douglas. It is a twin-engine two-seat, all-weather fighter bomber. The F-4 is statically stable at low AOA, but exhibits wing rock at AOAs above 10 degrees. The Wing was swept at 45 degrees.[4]

[[SA-6]] – caused 30% of israeli air-force losses
[[Boundary Layer Diverters]] – splitter plates are used on the phantom
[[T-38 Talon]] – total weight of the T-38 with fuel is less than the fuel load of the F-4
