el Furia marina de Hawker was a British carrier-borne fighter-bomber developed during World War II, though it entered service shortly after the war in 1947. It was a navalized and refined derivative of the earlier Hawker Tempest and is considered one of the fastest piston-engine aircraft ever built.

It was the last propeller-driven fighter to serve with the Royal Navy’s Fleet Air Arm and saw notable combat during the Korean War, including a famous instance of shooting down a jet-powered MiG-15.

Key Design and Configuration

  • Tipo: Single-seat carrier-borne fighter-bomber.
  • Design Basis: Derived from the high-performance Hawker Tempest, but was lighter, smaller, and significantly navalized.
  • Naval Features: Included folding wings, an arrestor hook for carrier landings, and a reinforced undercarriage.
