The a-4 skyhawk was designed by douglasin response to a u. S. Navy call for a jet-powered attack aircraft to replace the older a-1 skyraider. Douglas opted for a design that would minimize its size, weight, and complexity. The result was an aircraft that weighed only half of the navy's weight specification. It had a wing so compact that it did not need to be folded for carrier stowage. :
