The Pioneers : An Anthology : Chauncey (Chance) Milton Vought (1890 - 1930) Chance Milton Vought was a pioneer airplane engineer, designer and visionary whose contributions to early-day Naval aviation place him among the founders of the modern aerospace industry. Chance Milton Vought was only fifteen years old when Orville Wright, on the morning of December 17, 1903, became the first man to officially pilot and fly a heavier-than-air machine. Chance Vought was a design engineer on this aircraft from 1910 to 1913 and can be seen seen at the right under the wing. www.ctie.monash.edu /hargrave/vought.html

Chance Vought F4U Corsair The XF4U-1 was badly damaged, but not beyond repair, and Chance Vought rebuilt it. Vought's Chief designer Rex B. Beisel instead opted for a fuselage of circular cross-section, of a diameter matching that of the R-2800. This engine would later also be installed in the competing Grumman F6F Hellcat and in the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt for the USAAF, but the new Vought fighter was the first to use this engine. www.csd.uwo.ca /~pettypi/elevon/baugher_other/f4u.html

Chance Vought F4U-4 Corsair Chance Vought's F4U-4 came about as a development of the F4U-4XA, which was first flown in early April 1944. There is some solid evidence that strongly supports the argument that the Chance Vought F4U-4 Corsair was the finest all around fighter of the war. Vought's Corsair was a fighter that could not be treated lightly. home.att.net /~historyzone/F4U-4.html

Heritage Museum When Chance Vought founded his Long Island, New York, aircraft company in 1917, little did he know that his small company would someday design and build aircraft that would change the face of aviation.

Chance Vought Corsair F4U-5NL AJBS Amicale Jean-Baptiste Salis GB Chance Vought Corsair F4U-5NL AJBS Amicale Jean-Baptiste Salis GB The CORSAIR of CHANCE VOUGHT conceived by Rex Beisel, was one of the legend's airplanes of the Pacific war. She were equipped with a W-shape wing, in order to increase the visibility downwards, as well to reduce the length of the landing gear, (always too heavy and too cumbersome), and to reduce therefore the aerodynamic interference occurring to the wing/fuselage's liaison.

Chance-Vought O2SU Kingfisher By early 1941, Vought had built 159 OS2U-2s and the Navy had stationed these airplanes at Naval Air Stations in Pensacola, Florida, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and Alameda, California. Under the Lend-Lease program, the United States sent many Kingfishers to Great Britain where they served in the Royal Navy as the Kingfisher I. Other countries received Kingfishers both during and after the war including Australia, the Soviet Union, Uruguay, Chile, Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Cuba. www.scalecraft.com /browseproducts/Chance-Vought-O2SU-Kingfisher.html

Boston.com / News / Nation / Navy sues man for plane he recovered in swamp Airplane buffs say Cralley's plane is the only known survivor of one particular model of Corsair, a Brewster F3A-1, built by the Brewster Aeronautical Corp. of Long Island City, N.Y. Brewster turned out 735, compared to more than 12,000 F4U Corsairs built by the Chance Vought Aircraft Corp. of Stratford, Conn.

Vought In February 1929 Chance Vought Aircraft joined Boeing, Pratt and Whitney and Hamilton Aero as part of United Aircraft and Transport Corporation. Vought received an order for thirty production F6U-1s as it was moving operations from Stratford to its new home in Dallas TX. Vought's contract, issued by the Navy on December 29, 1944, was for a straight wing carrier fighter using a new NACA 65-212 supercritical airfoil and a new NACA developed wing-root engine air intake. www.ctairandspace.org /vought.html

F4U WWII Pacific theatre Corsair & Pappy Boyington Chance Vought was to roll out its 1,000th aircraft on 22 August 1943 - and the parent company had been joined in the production programme by Brewster and Goodyear. Rex Biesel and his team had come up with a novel and extremely neat solution to this problem; the inverted gull wing that was to be the distinctive hallmark of the Chance Vought fighter thenceforth. Undeterred by this setback, Chance Vought had rebuilt the aircraft, which, on 1 October 1940, had demonstrated a ground speed of 404 mph (650 km/h) in a flight between Stratford and Hartford. www.fiddlersgreen.net /AC/aircraft/Vought-Corsair/cors_info/cors_info.htm

Chance Vought F4U "Corsair" Vought's production was backed by that of Goodyear, and Brewster. The principal variants were the F4U-1C (armed with four 20 mm cannons, 300 being built in all), and in 1944 the F4U1-D, with more powerful engine and armament, of which Vought built 1,375. Rex B. Beisel, Vought's chief designer, wanted to build the smallest possible airframe compatible with the most powerful engine available at the the time, the Pratt and Whitney XR-2800 Double Wasp (a large 18-cylinder radial, generating 2,000 hp). www.qsl.net /n3yqh/WWII/f4u.htm

F4U Corsair The Chance Vought F4U Corsair proved to be the most capable carrier based fighter of the Second World War. A Vought design team led by Rex Beisel was assembled to create the Vought proposal that ultimately became the Corsair.

Chance Vought F4U Corsair The Chance Vought F4U was arguably the best naval fighter of WWII. Because of perceived problems with carrier operations, the first Corsairs went to the Marines and land-based Navy squadrons. The Corsair also saw action as a ground support aircraft in Korea and in Indochina and Algeria with the French Aeronavale. www.shanaberger.com /F4U.htm

Vought F4U Corsair - USA Vought engineers designed the Corsairs wheels to swivel 90º and retract straight back to fit flat inside the bottom of the wing. Vought designed the fuselage with a circular cross-section which fit snugly over the Pratt-Whitney engine. The intake for the turbo-supercharger, intercooler and the oil cooler were located in slots in the inboard leading edges of the wings. www.aviation-history.com /vought/f4u.html

CHANCE VOUGHT F7U CUTLASS The Chance Vought F7U Cutlass was the most radical fighter design ever to achieve fleet service. At the aircraft's unveiling, the press was so stunned by its unusual appearance that the plane was given such nicknames as bat-like, dart-like, praying mantis, preying petrodactyl, giant arrowhead and flying wing. The bold design of the Cutlass gave the Navy a pioneer airframe which was to test and develop many systems that are still in use today.... www.mozeyoninn.com /Ginter/NAVAL/NF6.htm
