The Chance Vought F7U1, otherwise known as the Cutlass, is a unique jet from a bygone era. Its distinctive design set it apart from other American jets of the period. Its swept-wing, tail-less design was a breakthrough in aeronautics for the time, and set the standard for later generations of American jet fighters. The F7U1 was powered by two Pratt & Whitney J-35-P-4 turbojet engines and featured two main flying surfaces with anhedral tips. The Cutlass had a wingspan of 36 feet and was 37 feet, 6 inches in length. Its empty weight was an incredible 12,736 pounds, and its maximum takeoff weight was 18,000 pounds. Its maximum speed was 695 mph and it had a ceiling of 44,500 feet. Armament on the F7U1 consisted of four 20mm cannons, eight 5-inch rockets, or four 1,000 -pound bombs. Range was approximately 700 miles. The unusual design of theCutlass, coupled with its exceptional maneuverability, made it a potent weapon system in its day. Despite its impressive features, the Cutlass was plagued with design and structural flaws that hindered its effectiveness and reliability. In the end, the F7U1 was never able to reach its full potential. Nevertheless, the Cutlass was an important step in the history of aviation, setting the tone for future generations of jet fighters.
