The McDonnell F3H Demon was a subsonic swept-wing United States Navy carrier-based jet fighter aircraft. After severe problems with the Westinghouse J40 engine that was ultimately abandoned the successor to the F2H Banshee served starting in 1956 redesigned with the J71 engine. Though it lacked sufficient power for supersonic performance it complemented daylight dogfighters such as the Vought F8U Crusader and Grumman F11F Tiger as an all-weather missile-armed interceptor until 1964.
