Teh Североамериканская ярость FJ-1 — первый оперативный реактивный самолет, на службе ВМС США, разработанный североамериканской авиацией как NA-135. FJ-1 был ранним переходным самолетом ограниченного успеха, который перевозил аналогичные хвостовые поверхности, крыло и навес, полученные из поршневого двигателя P-51D Mustang. Эволюция конструкции для включения прокатилась крылья станет основой для наземного XP-86 прототип - сам первоначально разработан с очень похожим прямым крылом planform к FJ-1 планера - чрезвычайно влиятельных F-86 Ввс США Sabre, который сам лягт в основу ВМС на основе североамериканских FJ-2/-3 Fury.

The Navy’s Transitional Trailblazer

Teh Североамериканская ярость FJ-1 was the first operational jet aircraft to be deployed by the United States Navy. Introduced in the late 1940s, it served as a critical bridge between the piston-engine fighters of WWII and the swept-wing jet fighters of the 1950s. While it shared some visual “DNA” with the legendary P-51 Mustang—specifically in its wing and tail design—the FJ-1 was a dedicated jet platform designed to prove that high-performance turbojets could safely operate from the decks of aircraft carriers.

Design Innovations and Naval Adaptations

The “Kneeling” Nose Gear: To maximize limited deck space on aircraft carriers, the FJ-1 featured a unique “kneeling” nose strut. This allowed the aircraft to lower its nose and lift its tail, enabling it to be “stacked” closer to the aircraft parked behind it.
Straight-Wing Heritage: Despite the emerging trend of swept wings (which North American would soon master), the FJ-1 used a straight, laminar-flow wing derived from the P-51. This provided predictable handling at the low speeds required for carrier landings.
Central Nose Intake: To keep the fuselage streamlined and maximize engine efficiency, the FJ-1 used a straight-through air intake in the nose. This gave the aircraft its distinctive, “barrel-like” appearance.
External Fuel: To compensate for the short range of early jet engines, the FJ-1 was often seen with large, permanent wingtip fuel tanks.

Legacy: The Grandfather of the Sabre

Pioneering the Deck: On March 10, 1948, the FJ-1 made history when it performed the U.S. Navy’s first operational carrier landing with a jet aircraft at sea aboard the USS Боксёр.
Evolution into a Legend: The land-based version of the Fury design, the XP-86, eventually evolved into the world-famous F-86 Сейбр. In a complete circle, the F-86 was then “navalized” to become the swept-wing FJ-2 Fury.
Short Front-Line Career: Because jet technology was moving so fast, the FJ-1 was retired from front-line service after only 14 months, replaced by the more advanced Grumman F9F Panther.
Rare Survivors: Only 31 FJ-1s (including prototypes) were built. Today, only two remain—one at the Национальный музей авиации и космонавтики and another at the Музей воздуха янки in California.
