North American FJ-1 Fury First-Generation Naval Jet Fighter Family
The North American FJ-1 Fury was the company's first jet aircraft and the United States Navy's first operational jet fighter. Its straight-wing, nose-intake design was a transitional carrier aircraft, but the small production run established the procedures for catapult launches and jet deck landings and fed North American's influential postwar fighter work, including the path toward the F-86 Sabre.
