Remark

Photographer

129655 The gull-winged F7U Cutlass with its tailless, swept-wing profile was not a sucessful aircraft. All three XFU7-1 prototypes crashed. Later revisions were improved but still underpowered and suffered nosewheel issues. The F7U-3M was the missile-carrying variant. In March-1953, the USS Interpid sailed with Sparrow 1 missile equipped F7U-3Ms. Preserved at the National Museum of Naval Aviation.
