	FR Fireball - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ryan FR Fireball was a composite propeller and jet powered aircraft designed for the United States Navy during World War II.
		The FR-1 Fireball was developed into the F2R Dark Shark, which replaced the piston engine with a turboprop, but this never entered service.
		One FR-1 Fireball survives at the Planes of Fame Flying Museum, at Chino, California, and it is in the process of restoration to display condition.

		The Fireball fighter had the best combination of desirable fighter plane characteristics-high speed over the widest range of altitudes, high sustained rate of climb at all altitudes, short take-off, extreme maneuverability, slow landing speed, good combat radius and heavy firepower-each with its relative degree of importance to the others.
		The Fireball was a conventional appearing, low-wing, single-seat monoplane with a tricycle landing gear.
		The Fireball had the lighter weight of a single-engine plane, but if one of its power plants was knocked out, it could continue to fly without the pilot having to counteract the swing which follows the loss of power from one engine in a twin-engine aircraft.

	FR Fireball
		The Ryan FR Fireball was a fighter built by the Ryan Aeronautical Company with both a reciprocating prop engine as well as a jet engine.
		Ryan Aeronautics’ FR-1 Fireball was an interesting attempt to combine the high thrust of a jet engine with the acceleration and fuel economy of a reciprocating engine into a single airframe.
		Based on the Ryan Aeronautical Company’s successful combination jet-and-piston engine FR-1 Fireball fighter for the Navy, and impressed with the company’s interest in developing higher thrust levels, the Air Force signed a contract for a pure-jet VTOL research aircraft on 28 July, 1954.

	Ryan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The FR-1 "Fireball" was designed in early 1943 for the US Navy, from a proposal by Admiral J McCain for a composite powered fighter in December 1942.
		At the time this was seen as the way ahead for the US Navy as early the jet engines had sluggish acceleration which required a long take off run, which was fine on dry land, but understandably gave rise to some concern when using aircraft from carriers.
		On the 2/12/1943 the US Navy ordered 100 FR-1" Fireballs" and later in 1944 ordered an additional 600 aircraft, but after VJ day after only 66 aircraft had been made the order was canceled.

		Due to the urgency of the situation and the need for aircraft in the Pacific war area, a special squadron was formed on New Year's Day 1945 and assigned to working up the FR-1 to operational status for use with the Fleet at the earliest date.
		The "Fireball" was capable of operations from a carrier deck.
		The Navy officially unveiled the Ryan FR-1 Fireball to the public on September 26, 1945.

		The Fireball was the first U.S. Navy production aircraft to have a flush riveted exterior and metal-covered control surfaces.
		With contracts calling for 1,300 Fireballs, the FR-1s began to equip the Navy in March 1945; however, VJ-Day cancellations left only 66 examples produced.
		None of these saw operational use during the war, but Fireballs were used for carrier trials after the war until being withdrawn in late 1947.

		It was developed because of a Navy interest in a composite-engined fighter, taking advantage of the thrust of the then novel jet engine to gain high speed but also using a conventional piston engine to obtain the required range.
		By the time details of the aircraft had been agreed and a contract for three prototypes had been awarded, on April 7, 1944, Ryan Aircraft was already well advanced with its FR-1 Fireball, of similar concept but lower overall performance.
		Like the FR-1, the XF15C-1 was intended to cruise on the power of its piston engine, and use the turbojet for takeoff and to boost the speed in combat.

	MPM 1/72 Ryan XFR-1 Dark Shark
		I had considered including this kit in the Fireball review but decided that it was different enough to warrant a review of it’s own.
		This limited run kit consists of forty five hard plastic parts, a vac form canopy, photonegative instruments and the same Eduard photo etch sheet as the Fireball except that it is in steel rather than brass.
		Unlike the Fireball and due to the longer nose it isn’t a problem to get this model to sit on all three wheels.

		The Fireball has a "first" that Al did not mention.
		In training, during a routine landing approach, the nose-mounted Wright Cyclone radial cut out, and the Fireball continued down under the power of its G.E. turbine to a successful carrier landing.

		The secretly-developed Ryan Fireball became the first jet fighter for the Navy in 1944.
		Jet-pushed, propeller-pulled, the Fireball could fly either on its jet or conventional engine, or on both.
		Another Ryan achievement, the Firebird, is the first Air Force air-to-air research missile which was portable by fighter aircraft.

	F2R Dark Shark
		It was based on Ryan's earlier FR Fireball but replaced the Fireball's piston engine with a General Electric T-31 turboprop engine driving a huge 4-bladed Hamilton propeller.
		The turboprop made for much improved performance over the Fireball, but the Navy showed little interest in it; by that time, they had abandoned the idea of the combination fighter and were instead looking into all-jet fighters.
		The United States Air Force, however, showed a little more interest; they were at the time evaluating the Convair XP-81 of similar concept, and asked Ryan to modify the XF2R to use the Westinghouse J-34 turbojet instead of the General Electric J-31 used previously.

		The origin of VS-21 can be traced back to 26 March 1945 when Carrier Escort Air Group FOUR ONE (CVEG-41) was established at NAS San Point, Washington.
		Comprised of Fighter Squadron 41 (VF-41) and Torpedo Squadron 41 (VT-41), CVEG-41 employed the Ryan FR-1 Fireball and TBM-3E Avenger, respectively.
		On 15 November 1946, both VF-41 and VT-41 established the new Carrier Escort Air Group ONE (CVEG-1) and were re-designated as Fighter Squadron 1 Escort (VF-1E) and Attack Squadron 1 Escort (VA-1E).

		The Buffalo's wing was subjected to a static torsion test, and wing torsion was measured in flight.
		Variations on engine tilt, control force characteristics, wing dihedral, and aileron shape were evaluated on several FR-1 Fireball aircraft, in a collaborative effort with the testing done in the 40- by 80-foot wind tunnel to rectify several stability and control deficiencies.
		Some of this testing motivated the development of variable stability aircraft, as noted in the next section of the report.
