Discover the real-life aircraft behind the brick set – the Vought F4U-4 Corsair

Where did the distinctive wing shape come from?

The Corsair is distinguished by its inverted gull wings. Their characteristic bend served a practical purpose: it allowed for the use of relatively short landing gear while still accommodating a large-diameter propeller. It is precisely this detail that makes the aircraft's silhouette so instantly recognizable.

A historic aircraft at airshows

The F4U-4 Corsair owned by The Flying Bulls was built in 1945 and bears the registration mark OE-EAS. The aircraft is showcased at airshows across Europe, allowing successive generations to see this historic design in flight.
