Photo Gallery on an FBII Hawker Sea Fury Fighter, The Sea Fury was a British fighter developed for the Royal Navy by the manufacturer Hawker-Siddeley during World War II. It was the Royal Navy's last propeller aircraft, one of the fastest single-engine piston engines ever built, and the last propeller fighter to shoot down a jet.
The Hawker Fury took over from the Hawker Tempest as well as the Hawker Typhoon. Developed in 1942 by engineer Sidney Camm in response to a tender issued by the RAF (Royal Air Force) to replace the outdated Tempest II. The basis of the concept is to design a Tempest by making it lighter with the use of its semi-elliptic wing positioned in the center of the fuselage which was itself identical to that of the Tempest. The differences between the two aircraft were the monohull mode and the elevated cockpit which provided the pilot with better visibility.
