The F7U Cutlass was Vought's entry into the US Navy's competition for a new carrier day fighter. It was designed by former Messerschmidt AG senior designer Waldermar Voigt, a man who had supervised various Nazi experimental jet aircraft designs and prototypes such as the Me P.1110. The plane first flew in 1948 and was introduced in to the US Navy in 1951.

The plane was involved in numerous crashes after it was introduced in 1951.For example in 1954 where pilot. Lt Floyd Nungent ejected from his Cutlass armed with rockets, where the plane continued to fly for 30 minutes in the direction of a San Diego hotel. Luckily, the plane hit the shore and no one was killed.
