F4U corsair mods to make it suitable for carrier landings.
When tested by the USN it was found that the Corsair was not suitable
for use on carriers: 1 Long nose obscured sight of the deck 2 oil leaks over cockpit glass 3 undercarriage oleos would bottom out and bounce the aircraft of the landing wire 4 Abrupt stall. The royal Navy overcame 1 via a curved semi-circular approach and 2 by wiring the cowling shut over the windows. How were all of the other problems solved to allow carrier opperations?
