Chief Cutlass Flown Konrad Pilot Test Vought
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black-and-white photograph, Vought F7U-3P Cutlass 129746 takes flight under the skilled hands of Vought's chief test pilot, John Konrad. The Cutlass, a versatile transport aircraft developed by the Vought-Sikorsky division of Ling-Temco-Vought, is seen soaring high above the ground, leaving a trail of condensation in its wake. John Konrad, an experienced aviator and a key figure in the testing and development of the Cutlass, is at the helm of this powerful machine. With a determined expression on his face and a firm grip on the controls, Konrad expertly guides the aircraft through the skies. The Cutlass, a twin-engine, all-weather, carrier-capable transport aircraft, was designed to meet the needs of the United States Navy and Marine Corps for a versatile and reliable transport plane. The F7U-3P Cutlass, with its distinctive swept-wing design and robust construction, was known for its impressive performance capabilities. It could reach speeds of over 400 miles per hour and had a range of over 2,000 miles, making it an ideal choice for long-range transport missions. The aircraft's versatility was further enhanced by its ability to operate from both land and aircraft carriers, making it a valuable asset to the military. This photograph captures a moment in time when technology and human skill came together to push the boundaries of aviation. John Konrad's masterful control of the Cutlass 129746 is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the Vought team, who worked tirelessly to design and build this remarkable aircraft. The F7U-3P Cutlass would go on to serve with distinction in the United States military for many years, leaving a lasting legacy in the annals of aviation history.
