F4U Corsair "Whistling Death" Flight Demonstration !
Loading...
Uploaded by octane130 on Apr 26, 2008
This is a compilation of clips of the Planes of Fame Museum's Corsair (Chino, California) and includes some clips of the Palm Springs Air Museum's own Corsair. Man, this thing just scoots, BIG TIME! Wow, just awesome!
Listen to the 2,000 horsepower generated by the 2,800 cubic inches of the supercharged, 18 cylinder Pratt & Whitney R-2800! You'll see during the flybys why the Japanese called this fighter the "Whistling Death."
This aircraft just leaps off the runway in just a few seconds, and remember, the manifold pressure used today for takeoff with 100-octane low-lead fuel is not anywhere near what could be used with the wartime, 130-octane+ fuel. Very impressive!

Just been reading about the stripping back to its original paintwork of KD431 at Yeovilton Fleet Air Arm museum , UK. But you can't beat hearing and seeing these WWII planes flying. You've got to love theF4U Corsair with its huge prop and characteristic gull wings. Thanks good vid.

@stewjw: Hey, thanks for watching my video. When you say that you've been reading about the "archaeological" investigation of Corsair KD431, I am assuming you are talking about the book "The Time Capsule Fighter; Corsair KD431." I have the book and have read it; just fascinating!
Thanks!
