Le FJ-4 Fury nordamericano era un cacciabombardiere ad ala spazzata per la Marina degli Stati Uniti e il Corpo dei Marines. Lo sviluppo finale in un lignaggio che includeva l'F-86 Sabre dell'Air Force, l'FJ-4 condivideva il suo layout generale e il suo motore con il precedente FJ-3, ma presentava un design dell'ala completamente nuovo ed era un design molto diverso nella sua incarnazione finale.

Le FJ-4 Fury nordamericano was a single-seat carrier-based fighter-bomber developed by North American Aviation in the 1950s. It was a variant of the F-86 Sabre jet fighter, with a longer fuselage, larger wing area, increased fuel capacity, and improved aerodynamics. The FJ-4 was designed to meet the US Navy’s requirement for a long-range, high-performance attack aircraft that could carry a variety of weapons, including nuclear bombs. The FJ-4 entered service in 1956 and served until 1962, when it was replaced by the A-4 Skyhawk. The FJ-4 was also exported to Venezuela and Japan, where it was used as a trainer and interceptor. The FJ-4 was the last and most advanced version of the Fury series, which also included the FJ-1, FJ-2, and FJ-3 models.
