I've just been reading John Moore's book _The Wrong Stuff_. He did some
carrier-qualification trials on the F7U and seemed to be of the opinion that
it wasn't just the engines. I recall something about an uncontrollable spin

on the Flexdeck program--he claims to have made more wheels-up landings
in jet aircraft than anyone else.

I _think_ this Amazon link will take you to the book.
