Historical Background – F7U Cutlass

The Vought F7U-3 Cutlass is a jet-powered carrier-based fighter designed and built in the USA for the United States Navy. The Cutlass entered service in the early 1950s, specifically between 1954 and 1957, though it had been tested earlier. The aircraft was highly avant-garde – with its characteristic tailless design and pronounced swept delta wings. The F7U-3 primarily served aboard aircraft carriers during the Cold War, mostly as an air interceptor; however, its operational career was relatively short due to a range of technical issues. Nonetheless, the Cutlass went down in history as an example of bold experimentation and the development of jet aviation.
