		The F-11 Tiger was a United States Navy fighter aircraft of the late 1950s and early 1960s.
		The Grumman F11F/F-11 Tiger was a single-seat carrier-based United States Navy fighter aircraft in operation during the 1950s and 1960s.
		The F11F (F-11) Tiger origins can be traced back to a privately funded 1952 Grumman concept to modernize the F9F-6/7 Cougar by implementing the area rule and other advances.

	F11F-1 Shoots Itself Down
		During the firing run the F11F continued its descent, and upon arriving at 7,000', the armor-glass windshield was struck, but not penetrated, by an object..
		Examination of the F11F established there were three hits—in the windshield, the right engine intake, and the nose cone.
		The combination of conditions reponsible for the event was (1) the decay in projectile velocity and trajectory drop; (2) the approximate 0.5-G descent of the F11F, due in part to its nose pitching down from firing low-mounted guns; (3) alignment of the boresight line of 0° to the line of flight.

		The Grumman F11F Tiger was first introduced as a "short-nose" model but when the Blue Angels obtained the "long-nose" version of the F11F-1 Tigers in 1959, yet, the markings were reverted back to the familiar paint scheme of the Blue Angel, the "Blue Angel Blue and the Yellow.
		The F11F-1 Tiger was the Grumman's supersonic F11F, the Grumman F11F was a stronger airplane than the F9F-8, the afterburners' noise was the crowd pleaser, and the burner was the main reason for going to Grumman F11F-1 Tiger.

		Designed as a lightweight, air-superiority fighter, the F11F-1 "Tiger" was the last fighter produced by Grumman Aircraft Corporation until its introduction of the F-14 "Tomcat".
		The "Tiger" was intended to be a simple, lightweight, air superiority, day interceptor to protect the fleet.
		Nearly 200 "Tigers" were produced with some going to the Blue Angel flight demonstration team who retained them for ten years.

		This was the result of a 1955 study to fit the new General Electric J79 engine into the F-11 airframe.
		The F-11 Tiger is notorious for being the first jet aircraft to shoot itself down.

		The Tiger was the last Grumman "cat" and the last development of the F9F family but was the Navy's first supersonic fighter.
		This particular aircraft is also significant because it was used in 1973 by Rohr Industries as a chase plane for another Tiger which had been outfitted with an in-flight thrust reverser.
		The Tiger project had started out in April 1953 to be yet another variation in the F9F Panther and Cougar series.

		In April of 1955, the Navy finally admitted that the Tiger was not an upgraded Cougar, and ordered that the aircraft be redesignated F11F-1 (the designation F10F had been taken by the Jaguar variable-sweep fighter).
		The range and endurance of the Tiger was found to be inadequate, and the second production batch of Tigers (beginning with BuNo 141728) incorporated additional fuel cells fitted in the intake walls and in the vertical fin, increasing internal fuel capacity from 914 to 1049 US gallons.
		Although the Tiger was slightly faster than the Crusader at sea level and had better handling characteristics, the Tiger was almost 300 mph slower than the Crusader at 35,000 feet and had a slightly slower initial climb rate and a shorter combat range.

		Even though the Super Tiger was not ordered by the Navy, Grumman made a considerable effort to interest foreign air forces in the aircraft.
		For a while, Japan seemed to be genuinely interested in the Super Tiger, indicating that they preferred it to the Lockheed F-104A and F-104C, the North American F-100J, and the Northrop N-156F.
		At one time, Japan actually seemed on the verge of signing on the dotted line, with the proposed agreement calling for Grumman to build the first few aircraft powered by the J79-GE-7 and equipped with retractable ventral fins to improve stability, and the remainder to be built by a Japanese consortium.

		The museum's Tiger served on board aircraft carriers until it was retired to the "bone yard." It was later resurrected in 1964 to fly for several more years as a Blue Angels plane.

		The Grumman F11F (F-11) Tiger had its origin in a 1952 company-funded study to explore the possibility of adapting the basic F9F-6/7 Cougar design to the provisions of the Area Rule, thus reducing transonic drag and enabling the aircraft to achieve a supersonic performance.
		The range and endurance of the Tiger was found to be inadequate, and the second production batch of Tigers (beginning with BuNo 141728) incorporated additional fuel cells fitted in the intake walls and in the vertical fin, increasing internal fuel capacity from 914 to 1049 US gallons.

		Officially part of the USN Collection, the F11F is on indefinite loan from the U.S. Naval Aviation Museum, Pensacola, FL, to MAPS Air Museum for restoration purposes.
		The Tigers saw the most time in service as part of the Blue Angels flight demonstration team, with whom it served from 1957 until 1969, when the flight team switched to using the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom.
		Notable facts on the Tiger include the fact that instead of using normal wing construction techniques (thin skin over ribs), the F11F wings and tail planes were milled from a single slab of alloy.

		F-11 Tiger se stal známým díky tomu, že jej dvanáct let používala letecká předváděcí skupina Blue Angels.

		the F11F was supposed to be an all weather fighter/interceptor, however during my time with the F11F, it was mainly a fair weather aircraft.
		It was very impressive to see the puffs of smoke from the guns and see and hear the shells hitting the water, all before we heard either the guns or the airplane.

		Grumman's F11F Tiger was a small carrier-based fighter powered by the Wright J65 afterburning turbojet.
		Even though the aircraft didn't remain in front-line service very long, the F11F became a major symbol of Naval Aviation as it became the centerpiece of the Blue Angels aerial demonstration team between 1957 and 1969.
		Up until now, the only choices for a 1/48 scale F11F Tiger were the Lindberg (sort of) scale short-nosed Tiger in styrene, or settling for one of the crude resin or vac kits that were on the market.

	Aviation Heritage Golden Age Short Stories (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Grumman's preliminary design engineers conceived the design that was to become the "Tiger" in late 1951, at about the same time its predecessor, the F9F-6 "Cougar", made its first flight.
		With its promise of considerable greater supersonic performance than the "Tiger", the rapid pace and good results of the initial flight testing cast a shadow over its smaller competitor for the Navy day fighter mission.
		Except for the "Blue Angels" the rest of the "Tiger" story is almost anticlimactic.

	Grumman XF11F-2 Super Tiger
		I have not been able to find much on the Super Tiger design, apart from it being powered by a General Electric J79 turbojet engine and because of this being somewhat heavier in weight and supersonic.
		Ginter Books has a whole volume dedicated just to the Super Tiger, http://www.mozeyoninn.com/Ginter/NAVAL/NF44.htm, that covers the story quite thoroughly, especially considering that the author is intimately familiar with the subject.
		I found this from a book by Ray Whitford, written in 1989, saying that the Super Tiger avoided the use of an intake splitter by using a fuselage bump to cause a pressure rise to divert the boundary layer away from the inlet.

	F11F-1 Tiger Comparo Review by "Bondo" Phil Brandt (Collect-Aire vs. Fonderie Miniature 1/48)
		Although the Tigers enjoyed a relatively short operational career, mainly due to insufficient J65 power, their handling was honest and quick—some say that the Tiger was the best airplane the Blues ever flew--and the airframes were simple and tough, in the best Grumman “boilerplate” tradition.
		When, later, the J79 engine was mated to a few Tiger airframes, performance became phenomenal, approaching mach 2.2.
		Although the cast-in, raised detail in the C-A cockpit sidewalls provides (pour moi, at least) not-bad realism, the cockpit floor--same with the roof of the nosegear bay—needs to be fashioned from plastic sheet to blot out the ugly seam running down the center of the fuselage halves.

		The Navy’s first supersonic jet, yet the Tiger was never able to overcome enough obsticals to become a fully functioning fighter.
		Though highly maneuverable, the engine was underpowered, (while putting in a more powerful one made it too heavy for carrier use) and the wings were too thin for rugged combat needs.
		Mainly, the F11F was used for training, and most famously, as the jet the Blue Angels used during most of the 1960s.
