Originally designated XF-106, the project and its resultant prototype aircraft were renamed XF-84H, suggesting it was a mere F-84 variant, rather than an entirely new type. The initial inception for the program came from a U.S. Navy requirement for a carrier fighter not requiring catapult assistance, although the USAF Wright Air Development Center was the key sponsor of the project. The XF-84H was created by modifying a F-84F Thunderstreak aircraft. The engine was changed to an Allison XT-40-A-1, capable of 5,850 hp (4,362 kW). An afterburner was installed though never used, which could increase power to 7,230 hp (5,391 kW).
