The Grumman F9F Cougar is an American fighter plane from the 1950s, designed for operate from aircraft carriers. Derived from the Grumman F9F Panther, the Cougar is distinguished by its straight wings replaced by more modern swept wings. Although the U.S. Navy considered the Cougar an updated version of the Panther, it received a separate official designation, beginning its career as the F9F-6.
The final version of this aircraft, the F9F-8, presents several notable improvements. The fuselage was widened by 20 cm, and the wings were modified to have greater chord and increased surface area, improving low-speed performance. The wing incidence was increased to allow greater fuel capacity. Between April 1954 and March 1957, 601 aircraft were delivered. Most were equipped with an in-flight refueling boom and, late in production, could carry four AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles under the wings. Many earlier aircraft were modified to include this capability. In 1962, some of these planes, renamed F-9J, were equipped with equipment for nuclear bombing missions.
