Base F8U-1 and -2 were 56ft long. The F8U-3 is "only" 59ft long. Surprising, the -3 looks a lot longer than that!I believe the Twosader was not any longer than the single seater, they chopped space out of a fuselage fuel tank for the GIB. Not an issue, fly with up to 4x external fuel tanks under the wings since all the missiles attach to the fuselage.Despite work on auto-interception, I don't believe that a single seater would prove viable with SARH missiles. I mean, there's a reason the USN ditched the SARH AIM-9s.
