Fighter Wwii
What was the advantage, if any, to the Gull Wing on the WWII fighter the Vought f4u Corsair?
Was the gull wing design successful?
The gull wing offered no aerodynamic advantage. The purpose of the gull wing was to raise the nose of the fuselage without making the landing gear ridiculously long (and weak). The Corsairs used the largest propeller ever put on a fighter and it would have hit the ground without raising the nose.
