F4U CORSAIR (100% ORIGINAL SOUND) - 4K - FULL ENGINE START-UP + TAKE-OFF

Watch the full start-up procedure of a F4U Corsair (OE-EAS) of The Flying Bulls in 4K with 100% original sound.

The Vought F4U Corsair is an American fighter aircraft.
Designed and initially manufactured by Chance Vought, the Corsair was soon in great demand.

The Chance Vought F4U Corsair was developed to reach maximum speed with minimal air resistance. Every stud is flush-mounted, the transitions are aerodynamically perfect, and every footstep and handle blends into the aluminum skin of the body. Both the main undercarriage and the tail wheel can be retracted into the shaft and disappear under precise closing lids that were manufactured at a time when computers did not even exist in science fiction films.

The prototype of the Corsair was developed in 1938. The model aimed to deliver around 2000 HP from an 18 cylinder double radial engine by Pratt & Whitney. The 46,000 cubic centimeters of the propulsion make it not only extremely powerful, but also really loud. The gull-wing configuration, which made it possible to install a relatively short and light carriage, was a result of the propeller’s large four-meter diameter. Precise surface geometry resulted in three beautifully engineered and divided hydraulic landing flaps known as Fowler flaps.

Today, the single-seated masterpiece is fully aerobatic and presented at various air displays throughout Europe by the Flying Bulls!
