Ordered in 1941 for the big new Midway-class carriers, it broke Grumman\u2019s own mould: two Pratt &amp; Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp engines, more than 4,000 horsepower between them, four 20 mm cannon and four .50-calibre machine guns, and a top speed around 460 mph \u2014 some 70 mph faster than the Hellcat it was meant to succeed. It was fast, heavy, and beautifully built.<\/p>\n<p>It was also too much aircraft, too late. The Tigercat first flew in November 1943, but shifting priorities meant it never reached squadrons in numbers before the war ended. And it struggled at the very thing it was designed for: with one engine out it handled badly on a carrier approach, and its tailhook gave trouble, so it failed carrier qualification. Only the final variant, the F7F-4N \u2014 just twelve aircraft \u2014 ever qualified for the deck. In practice the Tigercat became a land-based fighter for the U.S. Marine Corps.<\/p>\n<p>Its real war came in Korea. Marine night-fighter squadrons flew the radar-equipped F7F-3N on night-interdiction and heckler missions, hunting truck convoys and flying close support in the dark. In one of the type\u2019s very few air-to-air engagements, a VMF(N)-513 Tigercat shot down a North Korean Po-2 biplane at night \u2014 a strange duel between a 460 mph twin-engine fighter and a wood-and-fabric trainer.<\/p>\n<p>The night-fighter role suited it. With a second crewman working the radar, long endurance, heavy firepower and the reassurance of two engines over hostile ground, the F7F-3N was a capable nocturnal hunter \u2014 even if the enemy it mostly hunted was trucks rather than aircraft.<\/p>\n<p>It never became famous, because it never got its moment. Overtaken by the jets almost as soon as it entered service, the Tigercat ended production at around 364 aircraft and was retired from U.S. service by 1954. Many surplus airframes then found a second life as fire-bombers, dropping retardant on wildfires into the 1980s.<\/p>\n<p>Today it is a warbird favourite \u2014 a handful still fly, their twin Double Wasps making a sound enthusiasts travel to hear. The Tigercat is remembered less for what it did than for what it was: arguably the ultimate expression of the piston-engine naval fighter, perfected at the very moment the piston fighter became obsolete.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pull\">\u201cThe best damn fighter I\u2019ve ever flown.\u201d<cite><b>Capt. Fred Trapnell<\/b> \u2014 U.S. Navy chief test pilot, on the F7F Tigercat<\/cite><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"deepset\">\n<details class=\"deep\">\n<summary><span class=\"no\">01<\/span><span class=\"t\">Why the F7F Tigercat arrived too late to matter<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">\n<p>The Tigercat is a study in unlucky timing. Conceived in 1941 as the fighter for a new generation of large carriers, it was a big, complex, twin-engine machine that took time to develop \u2014 and by the time it was ready in 1944\u201345, the Pacific war was won and the jet age was dawning. Its carrier-suitability problems pushed it ashore, away from the fleet role it was built for, and the Marines who flew it did so from land.<\/p>\n<p>Had it appeared two years earlier, the Tigercat might have been a war-winner. Instead it became a footnote: a superb piston fighter that reached the fight just as pistons were bowing out to jets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section>\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">Design &amp; Engineering<\/div>\n<h2>How the F7F Tigercat was built<\/h2>\n<div class=\"cards3\">\n<div class=\"ecard\">\n<div class=\"num\">01<\/div>\n<h3>Two Double Wasps<\/h3>\n<p>The Tigercat\u2019s speed came from a pair of Pratt &amp; Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp radials \u2014 over 4,000 hp together. Two engines gave it exceptional performance for a piston fighter, and a margin of safety over water and enemy territory that single-engine fighters lacked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ecard\">\n<div class=\"num\">02<\/div>\n<h3>A very heavy punch<\/h3>\n<p>Four 20 mm cannon in the wing roots and four .50-calibre machine guns in the nose made the Tigercat one of the most heavily armed fighters of its era. It could also carry bombs, rockets or even a torpedo, doubling as a potent attack aircraft.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ecard\">\n<div class=\"num\">03<\/div>\n<h3>Radar and a second seat<\/h3>\n<p>The night-fighter variants \u2014 the -1N, -2N and -3N \u2014 added airborne-intercept radar in a lengthened nose and a second crewman to work it, turning the Tigercat into a genuine all-weather, night-capable fighter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"deepset\">\n<details class=\"deep\">\n<summary><span class=\"no\">02<\/span><span class=\"t\">The F7F Tigercat\u2019s carrier problem: why a Navy fighter served ashore<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">\n<p>The Tigercat was ordered for carriers, but it never really went to sea. Twin-engine aircraft are unforgiving if one engine fails at low speed on a carrier approach, and the F7F\u2019s directional control on a single engine was marginal; its tailhook and arresting behaviour also gave trouble in trials. Early variants failed carrier qualification outright.<\/p>\n<p>Only the much-modified F7F-4N \u2014 a mere twelve aircraft \u2014 was eventually cleared for carrier operations. The rest of the fleet flew from land with the U.S. Marine Corps, which is why a fighter designed for the Navy\u2019s biggest carriers is remembered as a land-based Marine machine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"deep\">\n<summary><span class=\"no\">03<\/span><span class=\"t\">The F7F Tigercat as a night fighter over Korea<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">\n<p>The Tigercat found its true calling in the dark. Fitted with radar and a radar operator, the F7F-3N flew night-interdiction and close-support missions in Korea with Marine squadrons such as VMF(N)-513, prowling for truck convoys and troop movements under cover of night. Its heavy armament, long endurance and two engines made it well suited to lonely work over hostile ground.<\/p>\n<p>Air-to-air work was rare \u2014 the type\u2019s handful of night kills were against slow Po-2 biplane harassers \u2014 but as a nocturnal hunter of ground targets the Tigercat was effective, bridging the gap until jet night fighters took over.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section>\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">The Numbers<\/div>\n<h2>Grumman F7F-3 Tigercat specifications<\/h2>\n<div class=\"specgrid\">\n<div class=\"spectable\">\n<h4>Airframe &amp; Performance<\/h4>\n<dl>\n<dt>Crew<\/dt>\n<dd>1 (2 in the -N night fighters)<\/dd>\n<dt>Length<\/dt>\n<dd>13.83 m (45 ft 4 in)<\/dd>\n<dt>Wingspan<\/dt>\n<dd>15.70 m (51 ft 6 in)<\/dd>\n<dt>Empty weight<\/dt>\n<dd>~7,380 kg (16,270 lb)<\/dd>\n<dt>Max takeoff weight<\/dt>\n<dd>~11,660 kg (25,720 lb)<\/dd>\n<dt>Max speed<\/dt>\n<dd>740 km\/h (460 mph)<\/dd>\n<dt>Service ceiling<\/dt>\n<dd>12,300 m (40,400 ft)<\/dd>\n<dt>Range<\/dt>\n<dd>~1,900 km (1,200 mi)<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"spectable\">\n<h4>Propulsion, Armament &amp; Programme<\/h4>\n<dl>\n<dt>Engines<\/dt>\n<dd>2 \u00d7 Pratt &amp; Whitney R-2800-34W Double Wasp, ~2,100 hp each<\/dd>\n<dt>Rate of climb<\/dt>\n<dd>~23 m\/s (4,530 ft\/min)<\/dd>\n<dt>Armament<\/dt>\n<dd>4 \u00d7 20 mm cannon + 4 \u00d7 .50 in MGs; up to 2\u00d71,000 lb bombs, rockets or a torpedo<\/dd>\n<dt>First flight<\/dt>\n<dd>November 1943 (XF7F-1)<\/dd>\n<dt>Built<\/dt>\n<dd>~364<\/dd>\n<dt>Operators<\/dt>\n<dd>United States (Navy &amp; Marine Corps)<\/dd>\n<dt>Cost per flight hour<\/dt>\n<dd>Not recorded \u2014 retired from service in 1954<\/dd>\n<dt>Retired<\/dt>\n<dd>1954 (US); some flew on as fire-bombers into the 1980s<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"deepset\">\n<details class=\"deep\">\n<summary><span class=\"no\">04<\/span><span class=\"t\">The F7F Tigercat\u2019s variants: from day fighter to night hunter<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">\n<p>Around 364 Tigercats were built across several variants: the single-seat F7F-1 day fighter (34 built); the radar-equipped F7F-2N night fighter (65); the improved single-seat F7F-3 (189); the two-seat F7F-3N night fighter (60); and the carrier-qualified F7F-4N (12).
