F4U-5
Development work on the Corsair continued after the war. Early jet fighters needed long runways and used their fuel very quickly, making them unsuited for use on carriers. The F4U-5 first flew in April 1946. It had a yet more powerful engine, the P&W R-2800-32W, providing 2,459 hp. This gave the dash five a top speed of 470 mph, twenty miles per hour quicker than the dash four. Standard armament was changed to four 20mm M-3 cannon, two in each wing. It retained the eight rocket stubs capable of carrying 5 inch HVAR rockets, and the wing root pylons, used to carry bombs, drop tanks or napalm. The F4U-5 was finally retired from US service in 1956. It saw active service during the Korean War, as did the final variant, the AU-1.
佢唔係二戰機喎!
