from 1,805 hp. to 2800 depending on Version. The F4U-1D had 2400 hp, and the highest powered had 2800 hp, hence the engine name Pratt & Whitney R-2800 which is a double row 18-cylinder radial. PCH answer is 2000. I don't know how they came to that conclusion given the above true facts.
PCH Answer: 2000. The F4U-Corsair had a 2000 hp Pratt & Whitney R-2800 air-cooled radial engine.
Well......there were many different models of the Corsair. Do you have any one in particular? I have a site for you. I just have to find it.
There was no safe way to leave an airplane at that time as there was too much chance of it tangling in the aircraft rigging.
There Is So Much World to See was created on 1966-06-28.
In WW2 (World War 2) there were kamikazes, suicidal planes that explode themselves by running into another plane. This caused alot of pollution, fog, fires etc. Aircraft today use vast amounts of fuel. Also when an aircraft comes into land it has to jettison excess fuel into the air. Long distance traveling are done by airplanes and well as some importing/exporting. Airplanes bring the world much closer together. An example is after the earthquake in Haiti, tons of goods are transported in by airplanes.
During the war, many men had entered the military, and the shortage of workers meant women were offered jobs they previously would not have been- mechanics, welders, airplane builders. When the war ended, so did much of the wartime weapons production. Men were also returning from military service, and employers were required to re-hire them.
The amount of horsepower in an airplane can vary depending on the type of aircraft and its size. Commercial jetliners can have engines that generate tens of thousands of horsepower, while smaller propeller-driven planes may have only a few hundred horsepower.
a 500 lb plane needs approximately 100 HP to sustain flight. Use that ratio for the desired airplane
A World of Outlaws sprint car engine can vary from about 810 horsepower to about 900 horsepower.
That will depend on where in the world you are flying from.
340 Horsepower 340 Horsepower
1001 horsepower
160 horsepower
43 horsepower
170 horsepower
The 2009 Grizzly is available in several different horsepower configurations. The standard horsepower is 225. There were options for as much as 360 horsepower.
285 horsepower
325 horsepower.
