In another thread, the Sea Fury is to be developed in 1942. I'm finding it hard to believe, because the FW-190A-3 didn't land at Pembrey until June 23, 1942, an act which led to the issuing of F.6/42, the specification which led to Fury, and subsequent Sea Fury, which qualified for sea duty in the spring of 1947. I included the LaGG-5 because it's performance was similar to the FW-190. It flew in March of 1942, and shared some engine characteristics with the FW. Both the Shvetsov M82 and the BMW 801 were 2500 cid 14 cylinder 2-row radials. Both had rear facing exhaust, and superior carburetion to Bristol engines of the time. Both aircraft had sleek, skinny wings. What steps could be taken to circumvent the lessons that had to be learned?
