FM-2

The FM-2 featured a distinctly enlarged and taller vertical stabilizer (tail fin). This was added to counteract the increased torque and propeller wash caused by the upgraded, more powerful engine. Powered by a lighter, more potent single-row Wright R-1820-56 Cyclone engine. It produced 1,350 horsepower with its water-alcohol injection at takeoff with a 50 horsepower boost. It had a noticeably better climb rate, acceleration, and superior high-altitude performance over baseline F4Fs.

Scientists predict that the next three to five decades provide a critical window to anticipate and plan for Antarctic ice loss and its contribution to sea level rise. Research published in Nature, led by Monash University researcher Dr. Felicity McCormack from Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future (SAEF), looks at the predictability of Antarctic ice loss and what this means for sea level rise projections. Based on reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a global sea level rise exceeding two meters by 2100 cannot be ruled out under high-emission scenarios due to the large-scale collapse of the Antarctic Ice Sheet.
