	Grumman F7F Tigercat model airplane (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The prototype of the F7F Tigercat first flew during December, 1943.
		With a 400mph top speed, the F7F was one of the ultimate developments of piston-engined fighter technology.
		The F7F-1 was to supply the US Marine Corps, which was already engaged in landing operations on Japanese-held islands in the Pacific, but the Tigercat materialized too late to see operational service with the USMC before the end of WWII.

	Grumman Cats
		Grumman submitted a design which was little more than an evolution of their F3F biplane.
		A new Grumman fighter, conceived before the Pearl Harbor attack, was on it’s way to the fleet, and it was an order of magnitude better than its ancestor.
		Grumman built 189 of these which were powered by R-2800-34 engines to provide for improved high altitude performance.

	Gumman F7F Tigercat
		In early 1941 Grumman began work on a new twin-engined Navy fighter, designed to have high performance and unprecedented firepower.
		A contract was awarded in June 1941, with the first in December of 1943.
		Grumman received a contract for 500 Tigercats, which were to be supplied to the U.S. Marines to provide close-air support for their operations.

	The Grumman AF Guardian
		Grumman had also been working on a third design, with the company designation "G-70", for several months, and the Navy found the G-70 attractive.
		There was no way at the time to cram all the necessary ASW gear into a single aircraft, and so two variants of the "Guardian", as it was named, were planned, with the pair to act as a "hunter-killer" team.
		The aircraft was a "taildragger", with a stinger-type arresting hook aft of the tailwheel, and wide-span mid-mounted wings that folded back towards the tail in classic Grumman fashion, outside of the main landing gear.

	XP-65 / F7F Tigercat
		Although overshadowed by its F6F Hellcatpredecessor and F8F Bearcat successor in the Grumman “cat” family, the F7F Tigercat was an equally distinguished fighter.
		Grumman’s competition winner was a twin-engine, tricycle landing gear design.
		The Naval Aircraft Modification Unit, Johnsville, Pa., prototyped the -3P; Grumman prototyped the two-place -3N with nose guns removed and a larger “drooped nose” for the radar.

	Warbird Alley: Grumman F7F Tigercat
		In early 1941, Grumman began design-work on a new twin-engine fighter for the War Department, for use on a planned larger Midway-class aircraft carrier.
		On June 30, 1941, Grumman was awarded a contract to build two prototypes, the first of which flew in December 1943.
		Before the prototype even flew for the first time, Grumman was contracted to build 500 of them for the US Marine Corps, to be used as close-support aircraft for the massive landing operations then underway in the Pacific.

	F7F Tigercat
		During the preceeding years the US navy had keenly studied air war in Europe and noted that the things that appeared to count were the obvious ones; engine power, armament, and protective armour and self sealing fuel tanks.
		In contrast, the F7F was planned on a basis of knowledge and though dramatically heavier and faster than any previous carrier aircraft it was matched with the deck of the large Midway-class carriers then under construction.
		What ended the career of the F7F was the rise of the jet fighter, that would untimately replace the piston/cylinder arrangement forever.

	F7F Tigercat Info (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		In 1938 the U.S. Navy contracted for the development of a prototype twin-engined carrier-based fighter, designated the XF5-1.
		A contract was awarded in June 1941, with the first flight taking place in December 1943.
		The new aircraft, known as the F7F Tigercat, featured foldable wings and tricycle landing gear, with four 20mm cannons and four.050 inch machine guns providing an offensive punch.

	THE GREAT PLANES Community - Duel: Grumman F7F Tigercat vs. De Havilland Hornet
		The book "Grumman Aircraft: Since 1929" states that with 1 300 gallon tank on the centerline, and 2 150 gallon tanks, 1 beneath each wing, the F7F could fly non stop from Cherry Point, North Carolina to San Diego, California, around 3,000 miles.
		Published performance figures for the F7F almost always seem to be on 100/130 PN fuel.
		It seems that, as was the case with other propeller-driven warplanes, the development of jet aircraft between the wars removed much of the opportunity for the F7F to prove its true worth in actual combat.

	Grumman XP-65 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Grumman XP-65 was to have been the Army equivalent of the Navy's Grumman F7F Tigercat twin-engined carrier-based fighter.
		You may recall the Grumman XP-50, which was the Army version of the Navy's XF5F Skyrocket experimental carrier-based twin-engined fighter.
		The Grumman proposals attracted enough attention that both the Army and the Navy decided to pursue the development of similar Grumman-designed twin-engined fighters.

	Focke-Wulf Ta 154 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kurt Tank's team at Focke-Wulf had been working for some time on a fast attack bomber called the Ta 211, so named because it planned to use an uprated Jumo 211R engine.
		The plane was a high-wing twin-engine design that bears a strong resemblance to the Grumman F7F Tigercat, and was built primarily of plywood bonded with a special glue called Tego-Film.
		The only large-scale use of metal was in the pressurized cockpit.

	F7F-3 Tigercat by Diego Piedrahita (AMT/ERTL 1/48)
		Third in the successful line of 'Cats built by Grumman primarily for the Navy, the Tigercat was intended to be both a fleet interceptor and a long-range attack aircraft.
		Used as an attack aircraft, the F7F could carry either bombs or rockets.
		AMT/ERTL has nicely filled the gap in 1/48 scale between the Hellcat and the Bearcat with a well-detailed kit of the -3 model Tigercat.

		However, Grumman had been working on a third design, with the company designation "G-70", for several months, and the Navy found the G-70 attractive.
		They were otherwise similar, featuring a crew of two, sitting side-by-side; a warload of up to 1,800 kilograms (4,000 pounds) of bombs, torpedoes, or rockets; and twin fixed forward-firing 20-millimeter cannon.
		The aircraft was a "tailsitter", with a stinger-type arresting hook aft of the tailwheel, and wide-span mid-mounted wings that folded back towards the tail in classic Grumman fashion, outside of the main landing gear.

	Grumman F7F Tigercat
		In 1941 commenced the studies for a new embarked fighter-bomber for the Midway class carriers, and the order on the prototypes was emitted on 30 June of the same year.
		For the plane, that had to be of excellent performances, Grumman choosed a traditional configuration with a particular aerodynamically sight.
		The two engines were placed in the wing, that was in a middle position; it had a tricycle-retractile landing gear (it was the first time that this device was proposed for an embarked plane).

	Warbird Alley: Grumman F4F Wildcat
		Grumman FM-2 Wildcat N5833, operated by the Commemorative Air Force.
		Grumman built a design which, after several re-designations and airframe modifications, won the contract and eventually became the F4F Wildcat.
		In mid 1942, Grumman realized that it needed to concentrate on the production of its new F6F Hellcat fighter, and so it contracted with the General Motors Company to build the Wildcat under the designation FM-1.

	Grumman F7F Tigercat (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The American built Grumman F7F Tigercat was destined to be the US Navy's first twin engined fighter built in production quantities.
		It was designed to operate from aircraft carriers of the USS Midway class and six versions of the Tigercat were produced.
		Originally fitted with a tail hook for operations from "Midway" class carriers, the F7Fs proved too heavy for such duty and were transferred to the US Marine Corps shore based squadrons in 1944.

		The Grumman F7F Tigercat was a two-seat, twin-engine night-fighter used by the US Marine Corps during the Korean War.
		The F7F had two 2,100-hp engines giving it a maximum speed of 435 mph.
		The F7F was an ineffective escort versus MiG-15 night-fighters so the Marine’s VMF(N)-513 converted to F3D-2N Skyknight night-fighters in November 1952.

	Octopus (Pavla) 1/72 Grumman F7F-3N Tigercat
		After several bumpy starts with several different versions, Grumman delivered a bit over 100 F7F-3N night fighters between mid 1945 and June 1946. It would be the most-built version of the Tigercat.
		Too late for WW II service, the Marines used the Tigercat in Korea for both close air support and as a night fighter. It was in the night fighter roll that most of us have come to recognize the Tigercat.
		It can also go on the shelf along side those other Grumman fighters. It is actual proof that everything Grumman did during WWII was not a roaring success.

		The flight trials of the XF5F Skyrocket provided Grumman with a keen insight into the type of twin engine fighter that might interest the Navy.
		Before this, 500 examples of the F7F-1 had been ordered for the US Marine Corps but only 34 were built, together with 64 F7F-2N two seat night fighter.
		One of the last piston engine fighters to enter service, the F7F was used only by the US Marines Corps.

		Ordered in 1941, the Grumman F7F "Tigercat" was the Navy's first twin-engine fighter design to be built in production quantities and the first to incorporate tricycle landing gear.
		Other wartime production requirements by Grumman delayed the F7F's first flight until 1943 where it proved to be a highly maneuverable aircraft with a top speed of 400 mph despite its large radial engines and heavy armament of four.50 caliber machine guns and four 20 mm cannons.
		Originally fitted with a tail hook for operations from "Midway" class carriers, the F7Fs proved too heavy for such duty and were transferred to Marine Corps shore based squadrons in 1944.

	Revell 1/72 Grumman F7F-3P Tigercat
		The Grumman Tigercat is one of those aircraft that were designed too late to see service in World War II, but had become outdated by the time of the Korean War.
		The origins of the Tigercat were in a 1941 requirement for a twin-engined heavy fighter that could be operated from the as yet unbuilt 'Midway' class of very large aircraft carriers.
		On the positive side, the kit seems to have the correct fin/rudder for the -3 version - later Tigercats had a bigger fin/rudder unit with a squarer profile when compared with earlier versions.
