  XF10F Jaguar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The resulting Jaguar was a stubby, somewhat plump-looking aircraft whose fuselage was similar to that of the earlier F9F Panther.
Although the Jaguar's potential was interesting, its configuration presented many of the same handling problems as the earlier Bell X-5 experimental aircraft, with some vicious spin characteristics.
The Jaguar's development was further hampered by its use of the disastrous Westinghouse J40 turbojet, which, as on other aircraft of this period, made the Jaguar dangerously underpowered and prone to various engine-related problems.

 Swing-wing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The swing-wing is most useful for those aircraft that fly at a wide range of speeds, and for this reason it has been used primarily in military aircraft.
A swing-wing was tried on the Grumman F10F Jaguar in 1952, but the F10F proved a failure and aroused no serious interest in variable sweep by the US Navy.
The idea was again revived in the early 1960s as a way to reconcile ever-growing aircraft weights (and thus wing loading) with the need to provide reasonable takeoff and landing performance.

 SWING-WING: A History of Variable-Geometry Aircraft - XF10F-1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
As the F9F Cougar and Panther were coming to the end of their illustrious careers, another member of the "cat" family was about to make its appearance, albeit for only a short time.
It was not the first variable swept-wing aircraft to be built, that distinction fell to the Messerschmitt P-1101 in 1944, which had ground-adjustable variable wings, whereas the first American model, the Bell X-5, a derivative of the Me P-1101, had in-flight adjustable wings.
Although, on the face of it, the aircraft was not successful, this belies the enormous contribution it made to future generations of aircraft, in terms of evidence concerning the lateral-directional characteristics of variable-geometric aircraft, the aerodynamic problems of variable-sweep winged aircraft, and the ineffectiveness of manual control systems above Mach One.

 XF10F-1 Jaguar
Even before the first prototype was completed, the future of the Jaguar appeared safely assured, as the outbreak of fighting in Korea brought with it a new urgency.
However, after the Jaguar encountered overwhelming stability and control problems and its Navy-specified J40 engine proved totally inadequate, the entire program for what had been intended to be the world's first variable-sweep fighter had to be cancelled.
On April 16, 1952, a Jaguar was partially dismantled and loaded aboard a Douglas C-124 to be airlifted to Edwards AFB, California, where initial trials of this advanced aircraft could be made safely over the Mojave Desert and away from prying eyes.

 Cat Flight
The F10F ‘Jaguar’ was the next Grumman cat.
While the F10F did not go into production, this would not be the last time we saw this idea.
It featured the twin jet engine design of the F-111, the variable geometry moving swept wings from the F10F and F-111, and it carried every missile in the Navy inventory.

 Douglas F-6 Skyray
The cockpit was situated well forward in the lose and was equipped with an ejector seat.
The engine was to be the afterburning Westinghouse J40 turbojet, which was the powerplant of choice for the next generation of high-performance Navy aircraft such as the McDonnell F3H-1 Demon, the Grumman F10F Jaguar, and the Douglas A3D Skywarrior.
With this engine, it was estimated that the Douglas design should be able to achieve a maximum speed in level flight slightly greater than Mach 1, and would have an initial climb rate exceeding that of all other contemporary fighters.
