dsawan Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) Did not know that these versions were produced. Super Corsair variants Main article: F2G Corsair The F2G-1 and F2G-2 were significantly different aircraft, fitted with the Pratt & Whitney R-4360 Wasp Major 4-row 28-cylinder "corncob" radial engine and teardrop (bubble) canopy, as a specialized interceptor against Japanese suicide Kamikaze attacks. The difference between the -1 and -2 variants was that the -1 featured a manual folding wing and 14ft. Propellers, while the F2G-2 aircraft had hydraulic operated folding wings, 13ft. propellers and carrier arresting hooks for carrier use [105]. As World War II was drawing to a close, development problems emerged that led to the abandonment of further work on the F2G series.[106] While only 10 were built, several F2Gs went on to racing success after the war, winning the Thompson trophy races in 1947 and 1949. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F4U_Corsair Edited September 26, 2008 by dsawan Quote
