The McDonnell F3H Demon is a subsonic swept-wing carrier-based jet fighter aircraft designed and produced by the American manufacturer McDonnell Aircraft Corporation. It was the first swept wing jet fighter and the only single-engined carrier-based fighter the company produced. [1]

The Grumman F3F is a biplane fighter aircraft produced by the Grumman aircraft for the United States Navy during the mid-1930s. Designed as an improvement on the F2F, it entered service in 1936 as the last biplane to be delivered to any American military air arm.

The Mitsubishi F-X (unofficially called F-3) is a sixth-generation stealth fighter in development for the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF). It is Japan's first domestically developed stealth fighter jet and will replace the Mitsubishi F-2 by the mid-2030s. [1] .

Apr 3, 2023 · With a length of 59 feet and a wingspan of 35.4 feet, the McDonnell F3H Demon was of a similar size to its counterparts. Manned by a crew of one, it could reach a top speed of 716 MPH at sea level and 647 MPH when flying at 30,000 feet. Due to its rather high fuel consumption, it only had an operational range of between 1,180 and 1,370 miles.

The last squadron, VF-161, last deployed on board the Oriskany (CVA-34), traded its Demons for the successor F-4B Phantom (formerly F4H-1), an outstanding fighter aircraft in all respects. The F3H never fired a shot in anger, much to the relief of most pilots who flew the plane.

The F3H Demon was McDonnell Aircraft Corporation's first swept wing aircraft, providing the basis for development of the F-4 Phantom II. It was an infamously troubled aircraft; engine problems...
