Modern Aeroplane Types: The Grumman Hellcat Fleet Fighter

Abstract

THE Hellcat (U.S. Navy designation F6F) is typical of the aerodynamic design of most Grumman types. Although it is an entirely new aeroplane it bears a striking likeness to the earlier Wildcat (Martlet). It has the same square wing tips and rudder, while the general form of the fuselage is very similar indeed.
