About the Vought XF5U-1 Flying Flapjack

The XF5U Flying Pancake was manufactured by Vought. It was a fighter aircraft and the brainchild of Charles Zimmerman during World War II. Its maiden flight was on the 23rd of November 1942 and its production was cancelled on the 17th of March 1947.

The XF5U was the most unusual aircraft designed for the U. S. Navy. It consists of a flat, somewhat disk- shaped body with a very low aspect ratio wing without fuselage that looks like a flying saucer. The Xf5U has two 1,600hp Pratt and Whitney R-2000 radial engines. Its configuration was designed to have a low aspect ratio aircraft that will have a low takeoff and landing speed and high top speed.
