North-American YF-93A. In 1946, USAF recognized all the early jet fighters were lacked sufficient range to escort bombers to the target. So the proposal for a penetration fighter were requested. In 1947, North-American responded with the proposal for a revised version of North-American F-86A, which the fuselage size was enlarged for bigger internal fuel tanks to increase its range. The extra fuel increased weight so the more powerful engine was chosen. A dual-wheel main landing gear was selected for the heavier weight amount. It also installed new SCR-720 radar / six cannons in nose so the air intakes relocated to the fuselage side with special NACA-designed flush air scoop. USAF ordered two prototypes which designated North-American F-86C. In 1948, 118 production were also ordered and was redesignated, F-93. However, with the success of the B-47 bomber which speed fast enough without need from fighter escort, the F-93 production contract was cancelled. The first prototype made its first flight in 1950. Its range and speed were performed as expected. After a fly-off with Lockheed XF-90 and McDonnell XF-88, two YF-93s were handed over to NACA for further tests until late 1950s.

North-American YF-93A Penetration Fighter Air Force Legends 227 By William Simone 52-pages, 4-color and 87-b&w photos, with 39 draqwings.
North-American's oft-forgotten YF-93A (NA-157) was an advanced version of the F-86A Sabre day fighter designed for the penetration fighter reqirement. It was originally designated the F-86C and was designed around NACA flush inlets and a 8,000 lb thrust J48 afterburning engine with three times the fuel of the F-86A, which gave it extremely long range. The two other penetration fighter candidates (the XF-88 and XF-90) had flown much earlier than the YF-93. All three types were not developed beyond the prototypes as the penetration fighter requirement was dropped by the Air Force. The aircraft sported F-86-style wings and tail mated to a new beffy fuselage with added electronics and 6-20mm cannon. The increased weight of the design led to a redesigned and strengthened dual-wheel main undercarrige. Only two-aircraft were built and the NACA flush intakes were replaced on ship one with conventional ram intakes resulting in increased overall performance. After retirement the two YF-93As were utilized at Moffett Field, CA, for further NACA testing before being scrapped.
