Experimental aircraft U.S. Navy, 1940.
In 1938 the Grumman Aircraft Corp. began design development of the G-34 Skyrocket. Their ideas were considered to be very
revolutionary, as at a time when the 1st single-engine shipboard fighter monoplanes were just commencing trials they were proposing a
twin-engine shipboard fighter! XF5F-1 was flown for the first time on April 1, 1940 by B.A. Gilles. Cooling troubles immediately
manifested themselves and, on June 1, modifications of the oil cooloing ducts began, and owing to subsequent delays the initial flight test
programme was not completed until February 1941. As a result of this programme it was decided to make changesof the prototype and the
modifications began on March 28, 1941 and were completed on July 15, 1941. Flight testing was resumed but further modifications were
called for, these being initiated in October 1941, and completed on January 15, 1942. By this time Grumman were already working on a
more advanced twin-engine shipboard fighter, the G-51 (XF7F-1), and testing of the XF5F-1 was continued to provide information for the
development of the later type. On February 3, 1942 the XF5F-1 was seriously damaged, when its undercarriage was torn off during
landings. Undercarriege failure necessitated a belly landing at New York on December 11, 1944, and the aircraft was finally struck off the
active list on the following day.
During its test life, the XF5F-1 had made 211 flights
