The F-111H is a carrier-based bomber, based on the stillborn F-111B concept but with many modifications, including much larger windows and advanced electronics to assist in landing, and improvements to lift devices and leading edge flaps, allowing for a slower approach speed and other improvements, allowing the F-111H to serve as a carrier-based bomber, allowing other fighters on the carrier to concentrate on fighter and multi-role duties.
