Fotogalerie o bojovníkovi FBII Hawker Sea Fury Fighter, Mořská zuřivost byl britský stíhací letoun vyvinutý pro Královské námořnictvo výrobcem Hawker-Siddeley během druhé světové války. Byl to poslední vrtulový letoun Královského námořnictva, jeden z nejrychlejších jednomotorových pístových motorů, který byl kdy postaven, a poslední vrtulový stíhací letoun, který sestřelil letadlo.
Tá Hawker Fury převzal hawker tempest, stejně jako Hawker Typhoon. Byl vyvinut v roce 1942 inženýrem Sidney Cammem v reakci na výběrové řízení vydané RAF (Royal Air Force) na nahrazení zastaralé bouře II. Základem konceptu je navrhnout Tempest tak, aby byl lehčí s použitím jeho polo-eliptického křídla umístěného ve středu trupu, který byl sám o sobě totožný s tempestem. Rozdíly mezi oběma letadly byly monohullový režim a zvýšený kokpit, který pilotovi poskytoval lepší viditelnost.

Pinnacle of Piston Power
The Hawker Sea Fury was a British carrier-borne fighter-bomber that emerged from a wartime requirement for a lighter, high-performance successor to the successful Hawker Tempest. Designed by the renowned Sydney Camm, it represented the ultimate development of the single-seat, piston-engined fighter to enter military service.
Although it arrived too late to see service in the Second World War, the Sea Fury went on to be the last propeller-driven fighter used by the Royal Navy’s Fleet Air Arm and was one of the fastest piston-engined aircraft ever produced.
Key Features and Engineering
- Motor: Powered by the massive Bristol Centaurus 18-cylinder, twin-row radial engine, delivering immense power (over 2,400 hp) to a five-bladed propeller.
- Aerodynamics: It featured a sleek, all-metal monocoque fuselage and a semi-elliptical wing profile, contributing to its superb speed and high-altitude performance.
- Navalization: Designed specifically for aircraft carrier operations, the wings were equipped with a hydraulic folding mechanism to conserve deck space, and the tail featured a sturdy arrestor hook.
- Cockpit: The pilot enjoyed excellent visibility thanks to the signature bubble canopy.
Armament and Variants (FB.11)
The most widely produced version was the Sea Fury FB.11 (Fighter-Bomber Mark 11), emphasizing its dual-role capability.
| Category | Detail |
|---|---|
| Internal Guns | Four 20 mm Hispano Mk V cannons (two in each wing) |
| Ground Attack Ordnance | Rockets (up to 12 or 16 depending on configuration) |
| Bomb Load | Bombs (up to 2,000 lbs, including 500 lb or 1,000 lb bombs) |
| Other Stores | External fuel drop tanks for extended range |
Operational Highlights
The Sea Fury’s combat life was brief but distinguished, seeing action with several international operators, notably in the Korean War:
- Korean War Service: It served extensively in a ground-attack role from Royal Navy carriers, proving to be robust and capable of absorbing significant battle damage.
- Jet Kill: In a legendary incident in 1952, a Sea Fury of the Fleet Air Arm, piloted by Lieutenant Peter Carmichael, successfully shot down a faster, jet-powered Soviet-built MiG-15—one of the few confirmed kills of a jet by a propeller-driven aircraft.
- Post-Military Life: After being retired from front-line service in the mid-1950s by nations adopting jet technology, many Sea Furies found a new life as highly modified and successful competitors in the Unlimited class of the Reno Air Races in the United States.
