Grumman\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s first construction of a Navy jet fighter was a big success with two versions powered by different engines.\u00c2\u00a0 The FPF-2 used the Pratt & Whitney and the FPF-3 housed an Allison engine.\u00c2\u00a0 Prototyped in 1947, it saw production the next year. Fast and maneuverable they were the first Navy jet fighters to see combat in the Korean War. They were primarily designed for ground support, but were found to be effective interceptors as well and through its lifespan was fitted with different armaments for a variety of combat and support roles. The Allison design had a top speed of 575 mph and carried four 20 mm cannons in the J-33 configuration.<\/p>\n
