"The Vought F7U Cutlass is a United States Navy carrier-based jet fighter and fighter-bomber of the early Cold War era. It was a highly unusual, tailless aircraft based on aerodynamic data and plans captured from the German Arado company at the end of World War II, though Vought designers denied any link to the German research at the time."

Nice! The Cutlass is one of my favorite-looking planes. A real shame it underperformed the way it did. If only it had better engines...
