The Grumman G-118 (sometimes called the XF12F though this was never official) was a design for an all-weather missile-armed interceptor aircraft for use on US Navy aircraft carriers. Originally conceived as an uprated F11F Tiger it soon evolved into a larger and more powerful project. Although two prototypes were ordered in 1955 development was cancelled the same year in favor of the F4H Phantom II before any examples were built.
