Ballast
Ballast is dense material used as a weight to provide stability to a vehicle or structure.
Consolidated TBY Sea Wolf
The Consolidated TBY Sea Wolf was a United States Navy torpedo bomber of World War II. Vought V-326 and Consolidated TBY Sea Wolf are Vought aircraft.
See Vought V-326 and Consolidated TBY Sea Wolf
Experimental aircraft
An experimental aircraft is an aircraft intended for testing new aerospace technologies and design concepts.
See Vought V-326 and Experimental aircraft
Folland Fo.108
The Folland Fo.108, also known as the Folland 43/37 and by the nickname Folland Frightful (or Frightener), was a large monoplane engine testbed aircraft of the 1940s.
See Vought V-326 and Folland Fo.108
List of experimental aircraft
As used here, an experimental or research and development aircraft, sometimes also called an X-plane, is one which is designed or substantially adapted to investigate novel flight technologies.

Pratt & Whitney
Pratt & Whitney is an American aerospace manufacturer with global service operations.
See Vought V-326 and Pratt & Whitney
Pratt & Whitney R-4360 Wasp Major
The Pratt & Whitney R-4360 Wasp Major is an American 28-cylinder four-row radial piston aircraft engine designed and built during World War II.
See Vought V-326 and Pratt & Whitney R-4360 Wasp Major
Radial engine
The radial engine is a reciprocating type internal combustion engine configuration in which the cylinders "radiate" outward from a central crankcase like the spokes of a wheel.
See Vought V-326 and Radial engine
Reciprocating engine
A reciprocating engine, also often known as a piston engine, is typically a heat engine that uses one or more reciprocating pistons to convert high temperature and high pressure into a rotating motion.
See Vought V-326 and Reciprocating engine
Supercharger
In an internal combustion engine, a supercharger compresses the intake gas, forcing more air into the engine in order to produce more power for a given displacement.
See Vought V-326 and Supercharger
Vought
Vought was the name of several related American aerospace firms. Vought V-326 and Vought are Vought aircraft.
Vought F4U Corsair
The Vought F4U Corsair is an American fighter aircraft that saw service primarily in World War II and the Korean War. Vought V-326 and Vought F4U Corsair are Vought aircraft.
