HISTORY

The Vought XF5U "Flying Flapjack" was an experimental U.S. Navy fighter aircraft designed by Charles H. Zimmerman for Vought during World War II. This unorthodox design consisted of a flat, somewhat disc-shaped body (hence its name) serving as the lifting surface.Two piston engines buried in the body drove propellers located on the leading edge at the wingtips.
There is a theory that 5U was considering jetting from the beginning due to the characteristic airframe configuration of XF5U, and there is an engine nacelle that would have considered jet engine replacement as the basis.
