Ballast

Ballast is dense material used as a weight to provide stability to a vehicle or structure.

See Vought V-326 and Ballast

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.

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.

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.

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.

See Vought V-326 and Vought

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.
