The Vought F7U Cutlass is a United States Navy carrier-based jet fighter and fighter-bomber designed and produced by the aircraft manufacturer Chance Vought. It was the first tailless production fighter in the United States as well as the Navy's first jet equipped with swept wings and the first to be designed with afterburners .

美国海军f7u“弯刀”舰载机是美国海军舰载机史上最极端的一种战斗机设计了。在它诞生的揭幕式上，自认为有一定心里准备的新闻界记者们见到它的“芳容”后大吃一惊，他们立刻给它起了“蝙蝠侠”、“大标枪”之类的绰号。

为了弥补f7u-1机体强度不足，f7u-3加强了机体，机体结构经过了彻底的强化，原本位于机尾两台喷气发动机喷气口之间的单条的阻拦钩支架被换成了三角形双肋，并牢牢固定在机身下部。

2021年7月13日 · F7U的主武器为4门 20毫米航炮，分别位于两侧进气口上方，为了解决发动机吞咽的问题，设计师在炮口安装了一个不锈钢导流装置，每门航炮备弹180发。 升级后的飞机也能挂载“巨鼠”空空火箭弹发射巢或4枚空空导弹，但是火箭和导弹都存在问题，在发射时会误触其他弹药，从而飞出两发弹药，导弹的尾焰同样可能造成发动机停机。 第一款量产型号是F7U-3，产量180架，F7U-3M是升级后可以携带空空导弹的版本，产量98架（其中有部分是从F7U-3机体改 …

2020年4月8日 · f7u弯刀舰载机采用无平尾设计，该机是美国第一种投产的无平尾设计战斗机。有说法就认为f7u弯刀的无平尾设计借鉴了德国的研发成果，但是沃特公司很可能并未涉足德国无平尾设计技术的研究，该公司实际上也没有接收德国工程师，但这只是小插曲。

For the Navy it was the first aircraft to have swept wings and use a high-pressure hydraulic system. The F7U-M variant was the first figher plane equipped with air-to-air guided missiles. Despite...

The Vought F7U Cutlass was a United States Navy carrier-based jet fighter and fighter-bomber of the early Cold War era. It was a highly unusual, semi-tailless design, allegedly based on aerodynamic data and plans captured from the German Arado company at the end of World War II, though Vought...

2015年4月17日 · F7U-3 Cutlass: This is the cockpit of the F7U-3 being restored at Paine Field, Washington. It appears to be original. Note that it is almost completely black except for the control column. The ejection seat was Interior Green.

It was the first production naval aircraft to achieve supersonic flight, the first to release bombs at a speed greater than the speed of sound and the first to be catapulted from a carrier while carrying nearly 2300kg of external stores.

Based on initial flights of the XF7U-1 airplane in 1948, the U.S. Navy ordered fourteen of the production versions of the airplane, the F7U-1. Powered by two J34-WE-32 engines with Solar afterburners, the production model incorporated several improvements.
