The inverted gull wing on the Corsair was for aerodynamics...not clearance for the prop as stated in the script in the video. The Hellcat had the same diameter prop 13' 1" and had standard length main gear struts. The AD series had a bigger prop still and had standard length gear.
@@Juno58 It allowed the design to obtain the optimum right angle for minimum drag at the fuselage and wing juncture. This was necessitated by the cylindrical shape of the forward fuselage.
I have over six thousand hours but never got to fly one of those wonderful airplanes.
Love the round motors 😂 😊
1:45 my favorite
I heard that you can hear the engine better by trying to get your head as close as possible to the spinning prop.
Instructions unclear,crashed my plane into an orphanage.

Which aerodynamic advantage has a gull wing compared to usual staight dihedral wings?

Is that skipper?
Are you sure these aren’t modified popcorn makers?

No protections, telling the pilot what to do, standing in the way of the fireman...
