Galeria de fotos em um Hawker Sea Fury, The Fúria do Mar était un chasseur britannique développé pour la Royal Navy par le constructeur Hawker-Siddeley durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Il fut le dernier appareil à hélice de la Royal Navy, l’un des plus rapides monomoteurs à pistons jamais construit, et le dernier chasseur à hélice à abattre un avion à réaction. Le Fúria hawker foi o sucessor do Hawker Typhoon e Hawker Tempest. A Fúria foi projetada em 1942 pelo famoso Sidney Camm em resposta a uma licitação emitida pela Força Aérea Real para substituir a Tempestade II. Projetado como "uma tempestade mais leve", ele usou como seu ancião uma asa semielíptica rebitada no centro da fuselagem. A fuselagem em si era semelhante à da Tempestade, mas totalmente monocoque e com um cockpit elevado, a fim de dar melhor visibilidade ao piloto.

The Hawker Sea Fury was a British carrier-borne fighter-bomber developed during World War II, though it entered service shortly after the war ended. It was the last propeller-driven fighter to serve with the Royal Navy and is considered one of the fastest production single piston-engined aircraft ever built.

Operational History Highlights
The Sea Fury had a distinguished, albeit short, front-line career, most notably:
- Korean War: It was heavily used by the Royal Navy (RN) and Royal Australian Navy (RAN) for ground attack and interdiction sorties.
- Jet Kill: On August 9, 1952, a Sea Fury FB.11, flown by Lieutenant Peter Carmichael, famously shot down a Soviet-built MiG-15 jet fighter, a rare event for a propeller aircraft in the jet age.
- Final Piston Fighter: It was the last piston-engined fighter to serve in the Royal Navy’s Fleet Air Arm before being replaced by early jet fighters like the Hawker Sea Hawk.
Air Racing: Heavily modified Sea Furies remain extremely popular and successful participants in modern air races, such as the Reno Air Races, often setting speed records for piston-powered aircraft.
