Tá Severoamerický FJ-4 Fury byl stíhací bombardér se šípovým křídlem pro námořnictvo a námořní pěchotu Spojených států. Konečný vývoj v linii, která zahrnovala F-86 Sabre letectva, FJ-4 sdílel své celkové uspořádání a motor s dřívějším FJ-3, ale měl zcela nový design křídla a byl nesmírně odlišný design ve svém konečném provedení.

The Peak of the FJ Evolution
Tá Severoamerický FJ-4 Fury was the final and most capable iteration of the Fury series. While it shared a common ancestry with the F-86 Sabre, by the time the FJ-4 arrived, it was a completely different beast. Designed primarily for the U.S. Marine Corps as a long-range, high-speed attack aircraft, it featured a deeper fuselage for increased fuel, a completely redesigned wing, and significantly improved landing gear. It transitioned the Fury from a pure dogfighter into a versatile strike platform capable of carrying nuclear weapons.

Redesigned for the Strike Mission
- The “Deep” Fuselage: To address the short range of earlier jets, the FJ-4’s fuselage was noticeably “taller” or deeper than the FJ-1 or the F-86. This allowed it to carry 50% more internal fuel, giving it the “legs” needed for long-range interdiction.
- Thinner, Cleaner Wings: The FJ-4 featured a new, thinner wing with a different airfoil shape and a “cuffed” leading edge. This improved low-speed handling for carrier approaches while reducing drag at high subsonic speeds.
- All-Moving Tail: Like the F-86F, the FJ-4 used an “all-flying” tail (stabilator) which provided much better control authority when maneuvering near the speed of sound.
- FJ-4B Ground Attack: The “B” variant introduced an automated flight control system and a low-altitude bombing system (LABS) specifically designed for the delivery of tactical nuclear weapons.
Operational History and the Marine Corps
- The Marine’s Choice: While the Navy moved toward the F8U Crusader for air superiority, the Marine Corps leaned heavily on the FJ-4 for close air support. Its rugged design and heavy payload made it ideal for supporting troops from the deck of a carrier.
- Bullpup Pioneer: The FJ-4B was the first aircraft to carry the AGM-12 Bullpup, the world’s first mass-produced guided air-to-ground missile.
- Mid-Air Refueling: To further extend its range, the FJ-4 was equipped with a fixed refueling probe on the left wing, a standard feature for Naval aircraft of that era.
- Preservation: Because the FJ-4 was built in significant numbers (over 370), several are preserved in the US, including examples at the National Museum of the Marine Corps a Březnové muzeum polního vzduchu.
