The planes is powered by the largest-displacement aviation piston engine to be mass-produced in the United States, the Pratt & Whitney R-4360, a 28-cylinder four-row air-cooled radial engine which produces over 4,000 hp.

Always amazed at how quiet these monster engines are. Even a Merlin farting itself to life in the background makes more noise than this beast in full gallop.
Wow...... an engine with a airplane built around it!
Seriously!!! She sounds so good at full power
"Steady as she goes",👍🏿
The the sound of the Sea Fury.
The sound of a sea fury if it were built in America 😂
@@drpork1360 The sound of the Sea Fury if the answer to the question of "How do we get more power?" were to always just stick in more pistons...
Magnifique 🤩
Beautiful aircraft! I would have loved working on these Reno racers instead of my career in corporate jets!
Of the 10 produced in Late 1945, I know some crashed and at least 3 were raced, but what about now in 2024 ?
I should have mentioned F4U Corsairs built in the USA with USA made Engines. Happy New Year ! DCS Essex Class Carrier and F4U Corsair from ED soon !
The engine is out and probably just getting torn apart. It should be done in plenty of time, but that all depends on if the can find a new venue
What is the max speed?
Not sure, but if I remember right it averages 444 MPH around that course all day long.
Around 460, on a good day.
Wish i could go back to this era. No forced vaccinations and shawdow bans by big tech.
TRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMP
