Tthe Vought F7U 커틀라스 초기 냉전 시대의 미국 해군 항공모함 기반 제트 전투기이자 전투기 폭격기였습니다. 그것은 제 2 차 세계 대전이 끝날 때 독일 아라도 회사에서 포착 한 공기 역학 데이터와 계획을 기반으로하는 꼬리가없는 항공기 였지만 Vought 디자이너는 당시 독일 연구에 대한 어떤 링크도 부인했습니다. F7U는 렉스 베이젤이 설계한 마지막 항공기로, 1922년 커티스 TS-1 미 해군을 위해 특별히 설계된 최초의 전투기를 담당했다.

The Vought F7U Cutlass was a jet fighter aircraft developed by the United States Navy in the late 1940s and early 1950s. It was one of the first naval fighters to incorporate swept wings, tailless design, and jet engines with afterburners. The Cutlass was intended to be a high-performance carrier-based fighter that could perform a variety of roles, such as air superiority, interception, ground attack, and reconnaissance.
However, the Cutlass suffered from numerous technical and operational problems that plagued its development and service. The aircraft was difficult to fly, had poor handling characteristics, and was prone to engine failures and structural failures. The Cutlass also had a low combat readiness rate and a high accident rate, resulting in the loss of 25% of the 320 aircraft built and the deaths of 21 pilots. The Cutlass was soon replaced by more reliable and capable fighters, such as the F9F Panther and the F4D Skyray. The Cutlass was retired from active service in 1959, and only a few examples survive in museums today.
