Abstract
- The article discusses the development and flight testing of the Chance Vought F7U Cutlass jet fighter and bomber plane by the U.S. Navy, with focus given to test pilot Lieutenant Commander Edward Feightner's experience with the plane. Feightner's flying of the plane as a member of the Navy's Blue Angels flight demonstration team, which resulted in a failure of the plane's faulty hydraulics system, is detailed. The author notes the relatively high accident rate of the aircraft, which resulted in multiple test pilot deaths
