I mentioned flying the F-11A briefly with VT-26 at NAAS Beeville in Advanced Training. A delight to fly, but just barely supersonic with the puny J65, and very short legged. It had several unique features.
Per this thread, the very tips folded ... DOWN ...
and were actuated manually! A flight line sailor would lift tips into position and wiggle until the locking pin seated. Also, it had full span flaps and slats, with very effective roll control via large wing spoilers. To eke out every bit of range, the Tiger had a wet fin, which was emptied first to avoid aft CG. The "long nose" version was added to accommodate a larger AN/APQ-50 all-weather radar, also used on early
Phantom II aircraft, but no change in designation.
Finally, due to contract finagles and inter-service changes, the SAME design was designated four different times, as: F9F-8, F9F-9, F11F-1 and then F-11A.
Also, here's a pix of an F-4 flying with wings folded. With 2 J79s, wings are redundant!
To complete the wing fold fiascos, here's one of the F-8 incidents.
