Synopsis
Chance-Vought¿s F7U Cutlass was inspired by design data retrieved from Germany¿s Arado Company at the end of WWII. To avoid extreme nose-down forces, the Cutlass was a ¿tail-less¿ aircraft. Its swept wings had vertical fins and ¿ailevator¿ control surfaces. Although intended to operate at up to Mach .95, the aircraft was hampered by under- powered Westinghouse turbojets, and its nose-up profile made carrier landings dangerous. Although its in-flight performance was acceptable, the Navy initially rejected the plane as unfit for carrier use. While nearly 200 F7U-3s were eventually delivered, they were retired only five years after their introduction. Originally printed by the U.S. Navy, this F7U-3 Flight Operating Manual taught pilots everything they needed to know before entering the cockpit. Classified ¿Restricted¿, it was recently de- classified and is here reprinted in book form. This facsimile has been reformatted. Care has been taken however to preserve the integrity of the text.

      Nice book, item was a print on demand and printed in the UK and posted there so $15 postage was very expensive.

      The Ultimate Cutlass Review...!

      Well, about the only thing I can say is that here's an airplane whose design (airframe, not engine) was FAR ahead of it's time. With more powerful, low-bypass turbofan engines, this plane, perhaps refined a wee bit from the "-3" variant, would've gone on to be a world-class fighter aircraft, in my humble opinion. The engines it used were the death knell for it, as were the overly-complicated control systems it used - a mechanic's nightmare. But, overall, the "-3" was a pretty good airplane and there were actually quite a number of pilots who did like it. Once in the air, it flew well. It was during landings and takeoffs that it was a handful. Had it's designers bothered to refine the design more in time, it would've become a superb fighter plane of it's day. But, as is often the case, ...
