All Corsairs prior to the -4 model had 3-bladed Hamilton Standard (HamStan, as PoF’s Steve Hinton Sr calls them) propellers. The -4 (very late WWII production) and later models had 4-bladed props.
@@bretz71 Thks. for interesting information. The first (and so far only) F4U I saw in reality was that which is now owned by the Flying Bulls (then owned by Swarowski). It is post war produced (1946?) and has the 4bladed airscrew. However it created my belief, that the 4blader was standard for this plane (strengthened by the fact that 4bladed propellers were more common with allied (esp. US) aircraft - eg. the Mustang.)
The original engine F4U had three blade propellers. When the original engine was replaced with a more powerful engine to go faster a four blade prop was then used.
I wasn't allowed on the tarmac, and very dangerous, especially with a pilot taxing blind towards me. You would have missed a lot by shooting frontal only as well.
The Corsair truly is majestic, The Majesty Of Air ❤️🏆🥇
My dad flew the Corsairs in WWII. He was in the South Pacific with VFM 314..never talk war. Did talk about flying. I wish I was a better listener
Sure wish I had the $$ for an F4U, my favorite of that glorious era!!
Such an awesome machine
What a sound! Thank you for sharing!!
My favorite warbird
Best motor sound ever
One of my favorite aircraft is the Corsiar..
A Beast to control on the ground!
Planes of Fame’s (from Chino, CA) F4U-1A, with a -1D canopy. One of the oldest Corsairs still surviving. 🇺🇸👍🏼
Stratford on Avon Connecticut, through and through!

Interesting: a three-blade-propeller!

At what altitude does the Corsair reach its maximum possible achievable True Airspeed in straight and level flight? Does anyone know? Thanks.

Why are some birds 3 bladed,and some 4 bladed? Age?

Thanks for the info! Kinda what I thought,just not sure!
Development, they were always updating and in this case always got it right somehow, each time :-Y
The F4U-4 was the first of the Corsairs to come with the 4-bladed prop. They did see service in the Pacific during WWII towards the end of the war.
