ABOUT:
It was the last propeller-driven fighter aircraft to serve the Royal Navy and was one of the fastest production single-piston engine aircraft ever built. Developed during the Second World War, the Sea Fury entered service two years after the end of the war. It proved a popular aircraft with a number of overseas troops and was used during the Korean War in the early 1950s and against the 1961 Bay of Pigs Invasion of Cuba. Development of the Sea Fury was officially launched in 1943 in response to a wartime requirement by the Royal Air Force (RAF) was launched and the aircraft was initially named Fury. As the Second World War drew to a close, the RAF canceled its aircraft orders; however, the Royal Navy viewed the type as a suitable carrier aircraft to replace a number of increasingly obsolete or unsuitable aircraft operated by the Fleet Air Arm. Development of the Sea Fury continued and the type began to enter operational service in 1947. The Sea Fury has many design similarities with Hawker's previous Tempest fighter, arising from the requirement for a "Light Tempest Fighter"; Both the wings and fuselage of the Sea Fury come from the Storm, but have been significantly modified. Production Sea Furies were fitted with the powerful Bristol Centaurus engine and armed with four wing-mounted Hispano V guns. Although originally developed as a pure air fighter, the final Sea Fury FB.11 was a fighter-bomber and its design was deemed suitable for this mission as well. The Sea Fury attracted international orders as both a carrier and land-based aircraft. It was operated by countries such as Australia, Burma, Canada, Cuba, Egypt, West Germany, Iraq and Pakistan. The type acquitted itself well in the Korean War, fighting effectively even against the MiG-15 jet fighter. Although the Sea Fury was retired by the majority of its military operators in favor of jet-powered aircraft in the late 1950s, a significant number of other aircraft They later saw use in the civilian sector, and many remain airworthy into the 21st century. heritage and racing aircraft.Colour Name | Colored |
