Vought F7U Cutlass
A Cold War era carrier-based jet fighter/fighter-bomber for the US Navy, she was plagued by technical and handling issues over its short service career, particularly due to its insufficient engine-thrust. Over one quarter of all Cutlasses built were destroyed in accidents, taking 4 test pilots and 21 other US Navy pilots with them. Some notorious nicknames given by naval aviators were: the Gutless Cutlass, the Ensign Eliminator or the Praying Mantis.

The F7U Cutlass, designed and built by Chance Vought, is one of the Navy’s jet fighters. The Cutlass, with swept wings and with no tail surfaces, looks like a giant bug and is the best war development.
