Love the lines of this plane. Too bad it was a victim of its design. Engine technology hadn't caught up with the design.

I have long thought the F7U would have been a success with a J-79, but that would have been a long wait.

There were other engines that Vought could have used but the Navy, like they did with the Demon, ordered specific engines and would not accept different types.
