F6F Hellcat model airplane |
| The
prototype of this airplane flew for the first time on June 26, 1942, with
initial deliveries of production F6Fs in January 1943. The Hellcat was
credited with 4,947 enemy aircraft destroyed in air-to-air combat, and
remained in first-line service with the US Navy for the remainder of World
War II. When production of the airplane ended in November 1945, a total
of 12,275 Hellcats had been built. The F6F-5 was powered by one 2,000-hp
Pratt & Whitney R-2800-10W Double Wasp 18-cylinder radial piston engine,
giving the airplane a maximum speed of 380 mph at 23,400 feet, cruising
speed of 168 mph, initial climb rate of 2,980 feet per minute, service
ceiling of 37,300 feet, and a range (with 150 gal drop-tank) of 1,530 miles.
Airplane armament was six 50-caliber machine guns (some late models had
two machine guns replace by 20-mm cannon), plus two 1,000-lb. bombs or
six 5-in. rocket projectiles.
