Off the shore of New York State, the Grumman Aircraft Corporation tested their brand-new fighter, the F-11 Tiger, in 1956.
A lengthy burst of gunfire from the pilot resulted in sudden, inexplicable damage that killed the engine and smashed in the windscreen.
What took place? The pilot had shot himself down.
Like other Grumman airplanes, like all Grumman aircraft, was named after a cat. With a top speed of 843 miles per hour (Mach 1.1), the F-11 was the Navy's only other supersonic fighter.
The aircraft was really Grumman's first supersonic fighter, and one test that Tiger would fail was due to the company's lack of knowledge about the effects of supersonic flight.
