1. Северна тава FJ-1 ярост е първият оперативен реактивен самолет в служба на ВМС на САЩ и е разработен от North American Aviation като NA-135. FJ-1 е ранен преходен самолет с ограничен успех, който пренася подобни опашни повърхности, крило и балдахин, получени от буталния двигател P-51D Mustang. Еволюцията на дизайна за включване на пометени крила ще се превърне в основа за наземния прототип XP-86 – първоначално проектиран с много подобна планова форма с прав крило на корпуса FJ-1 – на изключително влиятелния F-86 Sabre на ВВС на САЩ, който сам по себе си формира основата за базирания на самолетоносача северноамерикански FJ-2 / -3 Fury на ВМС.

The Navy’s Transitional Trailblazer
1. Северна тава FJ-1 ярост was the first operational jet aircraft to be deployed by the United States Navy. Introduced in the late 1940s, it served as a critical bridge between the piston-engine fighters of WWII and the swept-wing jet fighters of the 1950s. While it shared some visual “DNA” with the legendary P-51 Mustang—specifically in its wing and tail design—the FJ-1 was a dedicated jet platform designed to prove that high-performance turbojets could safely operate from the decks of aircraft carriers.

Design Innovations and Naval Adaptations
- The “Kneeling” Nose Gear: To maximize limited deck space on aircraft carriers, the FJ-1 featured a unique “kneeling” nose strut. This allowed the aircraft to lower its nose and lift its tail, enabling it to be “stacked” closer to the aircraft parked behind it.
- Straight-Wing Heritage: Despite the emerging trend of swept wings (which North American would soon master), the FJ-1 used a straight, laminar-flow wing derived from the P-51. This provided predictable handling at the low speeds required for carrier landings.
- Central Nose Intake: To keep the fuselage streamlined and maximize engine efficiency, the FJ-1 used a straight-through air intake in the nose. This gave the aircraft its distinctive, “barrel-like” appearance.
- External Fuel: To compensate for the short range of early jet engines, the FJ-1 was often seen with large, permanent wingtip fuel tanks.
Legacy: The Grandfather of the Sabre
- Pioneering the Deck: On March 10, 1948, the FJ-1 made history when it performed the U.S. Navy’s first operational carrier landing with a jet aircraft at sea aboard the USS Боксьор.
- Evolution into a Legend: The land-based version of the Fury design, the XP-86, eventually evolved into the world-famous F-86 Сабя. In a complete circle, the F-86 was then “navalized” to become the swept-wing FJ-2 Fury.
- Short Front-Line Career: Because jet technology was moving so fast, the FJ-1 was retired from front-line service after only 14 months, replaced by the more advanced Grumman F9F Panther.
- Rare Survivors: Only 31 FJ-1s (including prototypes) were built. Today, only two remain—one at the Национален музей на въздуха и космоса and another at the Музей на въздуха Янкс in California.
