__NOTOC__

The North American YF-93 was an American fighter aircraft which was a development of the F-86 Sabre that became so different that it received its own designation after a short time with the designation F-86C. The YF-93A was intended to compete with the XF-88 Voodoo and Lockheed XF-90 to fulfull the U. S. Air Force's requirement for a "penetration fighter" to escort bombers. Two were built and flown, but an order for 118 F-93s was later cancelled.
