The F6F was designed and put into service in a very short period, assuring the ascendance of the USN over the A6M 'Zero' from the second half of 1943 onwards. It was credited with 76% of all aircraft destroyed by USN carrier fighters. In line with Grumman tradition, the F6F was a rugged aircraft that lacked easthetic appeal. Typical features were a tail-down attitude in level flight, because of the engine trust line, and the biggest wings fitted to a WWII fighter. Some were converted into unmanned flying bombs, used in Korea. In 1954 the aircraft retired from the U.S. fleets as a night-fighter. A total of 12275 built.   Type: F6F-5 HellcatCountry: USAFunction: fighterYear: 1944Crew: 1Engines: 1 * 1620 kW Pratt&Whitney R-2800-10W Double Wasp two-row radial engine with supercharger.Wing Span: 13.06 mLength: 10.24 mHeight: 4.11 mWing Area: 31.03 m2Empty Weight: 4152 kgMax.Weight: 6991 kgFuel capacity: 946 L (250 US gal) internally; up to 3x 150 US gal in external drop tanksMax.
