The F4U Corsair was an iconic American fighter aircraft used primarily during World War II and the Korean War. Developed by Vought (later Vought Aircraft Division), it became one of the most effective naval aircraft of its time. Here’s an overview of its key features:

1. Design and Appearance

• Distinctive "Bent-Wing" Design: The F4U's most recognizable feature is its inverted gull-wing design. This unique wing configuration allowed the aircraft to have a shorter landing gear, making it better suited for operation from aircraft carriers, where space was limited.
• Large Propeller: The Corsair featured a large, three-bladed propeller that was driven by a powerful radial engine.

2. Powerplant and Performance

• Engine: Powered by the Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp 18-cylinder radial engine, producing about 2,000 horsepower.
• Speed: The F4U could reach speeds of over 400 mph (644 km/h), making it one of the fastest piston-engine fighters of World War II.
• Range: Its combat range was around 1,000 miles (1,600 km), giving it significant endurance.

3. Armament

• The Corsair was heavily armed, typically with 6 .50 caliber Browning M2 machine guns mounted in the wings.
• It was also capable of carrying bombs and rockets, which made it a versatile fighter and ground-attack aircraft. Depending on the mission, it could carry up to 2,000 pounds (900 kg) of bombs or up to 4 rockets.

4. Service and Combat History

• World War II: The F4U Corsair was introduced in 1942 and served primarily in the Pacific Theater. It was particularly effective against Japanese forces, achieving a high kill-to-loss ratio. Its primary roles included fighter escort, ground attack, and close air support.
• Korean War: The F4U also saw action in the Korean War, where it was used for close air support and naval operations, continuing to prove its versatility and effectiveness.
• The Corsair was also used by several Allied nations, including the British Royal Navy (as the F4U-1A), where it earned a reputation as a formidable carrier-based fighter.

5. Notable Features

• Carrier Operations: Despite initial concerns about its landing characteristics, the Corsair became a highly effective carrier-based aircraft, due to its rugged construction and powerful engine.
