The F11F-1 Tiger was not only a first-line fighter in the US Navy, but it was also used by the Blue Angels, the Navy's Precision Aerobatic Team. Designed by Grumman, the Tiger was known for its powerful performance and modern armament. It was the first swept-wing jet to make use of the area rule or wasp waist type of fuselage. With a wingspan of 31 ft 8 in and a length of 40 ft 10 in, the Tiger was powered by a Wright J65 axial-flow turbojet with afterburner, giving it impressive speed.
