---History--
Grumman D-118 was designed to compete with McDonnell Douglas' F-4 in 1955. The Navy considered it as a backup plan of F-4. However, F-4 had a outstanding performance of the three plans and won the Navy's approval easily. D-118 had the biggest wing surface of the three, and also had a big advantage in intercepting missions. However, D-118 had a poor performance at a high attitude. This is the major shortback of the plane and finally caused the failure of the plan.D-118 had many designs that were ahead of its time. It had movable inlets which was later used on F-15. Its seat arrangement is later used on A-6. In order to increase its high-attitude performance, Grumman's engineers installed a rocket engine in the middle of the fuselage. With the extra rocket engine, D-118 can gain a large amout of attitude in a short term of time.

---About the plane---
This is a unresponsible replica of the plane. I cannot gain enough data of the plane, so its almost impossible to recreate the plane in its original way. The plane I made is according to my own imagination: What will the plane be like if its produced today?

---Controls---
Standard aircraft controls.
AG1--Landing assist (gyroscope)
AG2--Formation lights
AG3--Canopy
AG4--Arrest hook
