Reasons for missing F-13 and F-17 planes
The reasons for the absence of the F-17 and F-13 fighters from the U.S. Air Force were discussed. The absence of the F-17 is attributed to developments in competition among manufacturers during the 1970s, with the YF-17 being developed into the later F/A-18 Navy aircraft. As for the non-use of the F-13 designation, it is due to psychological and cultural factors, such as a fear of the number 13, along with other marketing and historical considerations related to classification and naming conventions in the American aviation industry.
