The development of the North American FJ-2 Fury was the result of a
request from the United States Navy and the United States Marine Corps
for the provision of a carrier-capable version of the F-86 Sabre
swept-wing fighter. The carrier-capable aircraft of the period still
used a straight-wing design which made them inferior to the feared
Soviet swept wing Mig-15, which was extremely manoeuvrable and with a
high operational capability. Production of the Fury began in 1952 with
the required structural changes for take-off and landing on aircraft
carriers. To maximise on-board carrier space the plane utilised folding
wings, had a longer nose and reinforced landing gear. Thanks to its
General Electric J47 jet engine, the Fury demonstrated good flight
performance and a top speed of 1,086 km / h. It was armed with 4 Colt Mk
12 guns installed in the nose. The subsequent version, the North
American FJ-3, was equipped with a new engine and provided even better operational performance.
