Always loved the early navy jets. They were works of art. My favorite will always be the Grumman Panther.

When I was a young boy in Vero Beach Florida there was one of these (or it may have been the Phantom) sitting in the city park. The plane was stripped of engines and equipment and was lying flat on the sand. As a small kid you could climb through the intake ports and all the way through the fuselage and out the openings for the exhausts. Us kids used to love playing in and on it. those were the days when a city could do things like that without people complaining about things like sharp metal edges, etc. Funny that I never got hurt playing in that thing.

Gotta love the "old" days. Testing the compressor spindle - blades spinning at high rate, loose clothing on the test engineer, and no protective cover! I wonder how many days they went without an injury.

Way to go Charles Warren Drake! Head of manufacturing, employee #3, and my grandfather! He was called “Red” on account of his hair and temperament. McDonnell always made the deadline.

Thanks for the great video! My dad flew these before I was born, it's cool to see them in flight.

Beautiful airplane design. You can see some of its innovations in today's aircraft. I wish they were available via surplus. It would be neat tosee some still flying.

At 2:13 and 4:40 there are views of the McDonnell Aircraft plant at the St Louis MO airport. I was very lucky to get a summer job in that very building in 1973 on an assignment working on the first blocks of what was then the brand-new F-15

The Banshee was high tech for 1948 , look at how advanced the cockpit was versus WW2 piston engine fighters and it had boosted control surfaces. Mc Donnell hit a homerun with this jet ! 👍

+soaringtractor You are having a really hard time accepting that there are in fact talented people outside of the undeniably great nation of the US of A, which is really a pity since your nation can stand proud on the multitude of its own merits without the need for any petty history revisionism. And remember, the US has less than 5% of the world's population, so why is it so hard to imagine that there would in fact be people with at least equal talent among the other 95%+ of humans? The first axial flow jet engine *is* in fact a German design, but both Germany, the US and the British were developing axial-flow designs in parallel at about the same time. Axial compressors were not a new concept, but it is not until someone got the idea to use airfoils for the compressor blades - a British engineer by the name of Griffith was first to patent this in 1926 - that it was realized that it could be used to make a more efficient jet engine than the centrifugal-flow types that were developed in the 1930's. The US did award contracts to several manufacturers in 1941 to develop axial-flow jet engines, but by that time Germany had had both their BMW 003 and Junkers Jumo 004 designs running for a year. The BMW 003 first flew in prototype Me 262's in 1942, while the first US axial-flow design (yes, the J30) first flew experimentally in 1944, and in a production fighter prototype in 1945 on the FH Phantom (note: not F2H, that was the designation for the Banshee).

soaringtractor You are not seeing the story in context. Nobody who knows anything about the subject denies that the US is the world's leading aviation nation today, and that it got there on its own merits. But it is dishonest to dismiss the origins of the technology just because you got patriotically butt-hurt. You don't want the germans to have all the credit. I get that. Noboy who knows what they are talking about are giving them that, either. But they *were* first, they were in fact YEARS ahead of the British and the US and the rest of the world, *despite* being in the middle of an extremely costly and resource-depleting war. And they DESERVE credit for that. Can you say for sure that absolutely *nothing* of German technology inspired the US military or US manufacturers? I don't think so. I mean, it was well known that the technology was being developed. If nothing else there were both British and German pre-war patents, and as you rightly point out (I left that out of my previous comment because it turned out long enough as it was), even Whittle's design had an axial two-stage pre-compressor. You keep coming back to the fact that the German engines didn't work "for shit". Could that *possibly* have had anything to do with the fact that the Germans due to the war had very limited access to the advanced materials needed to make reliable hot sections, ball bearings and so on? The technology the Germans developed was sound, and in fact for example both in Russia and France (that I can think of off hand, maybe in other nations as well), the German designs were studied and developed further after the war, when the victors got access to the designs and hardware. Post war Germany could most certainly have continued building jet engines if they had had the incentive, but you really need to realize what state the country was in after the war - thir infrastructure, industry, cities, economy... everything was bombed to pieces... not to mention the millions and millions of people that died in the war, and with them their knowledge and labour contributions. Using that as an argument suggesting inferior technology is either ignorant or dishonest. So yes, credit is due to Westinghouse for their efforts on the J30 and J34 among others, but don't forget that at least three other US manufacturers of the era *failed* to deliver on that same contract. This was cutting-edge technology back then (and still is; today's refinements and levels of performance and fuel economy must have looked like science fiction back in the 40s and 50s), and there is nothing wrong or shameful with not being first. You can still be the best in the end.

Even though the sound barrier was broken by Yeager in 1947 (my birth year), these Banshees still didnt go supersonic, as you can see by the fact that the wings arent swept back . Still, it's a hell of a beautiful machine. Seeing how much work it took to make just one of the engines was very exciting. Those 13 minutes literally flew by.

The Banshee was a quite good aircraft. The only drawback was that it was a straight winged jet fighter in a world where swept winged fighters were superior. The best contribution the Banshee made was it was one of the forebears to the F4 Phantom.

The FJ-1, as well as the P-80 were evaluation aircraft only and were tested for suitability for carrier operation, and were found deficient for that purpose. The Banshee was the first operational jet the Navy used on carriers.

For fans and experts of military aviation, in-the-know, this cheerful, optimistic depiction of the Banshee omits the major point. The Banshee's straight wings reveals it all. Straight wing jet fighters were limited in performance. Swept-wing jets flew much faster at higher subsonic speeds and could even achieve Mach 1 in a dive. The F-86A Sabre could achieve 650 mph. The straight wing Banshee would not come close. First generation, straight wing jet fighters of the U.S. Air Force, Navy, and British RAF would achieve about 580 mph. Only the swept wing fighters could reach into the mid-600s and better. The USAF F-84G Thunderjet was able to squeeze out 620 mph from its straight-wing design. The Korean War clearly demonstrated that swept-wing fighter jets were here to stay. Straight wing fighter jets had their short-lived day, establishing the new paradigm of fighter combat aircraft. But the swept wing jets would rule the skies of air combat indefinitely.

soaringtractor More Information for you WilbursoaringtractorFinnigan on the F 86 Sabre . Read it and weep cos it busts so many of your lies. It's from an American website !! The F86 Sabre was originally designed for the US Navy in 1945 as a straight-winged jet fighter, and was known as the XJ Fury.North American Aviation was put under contract by the US Army Air Force to produce a new jet fighter. Utilizing information captured from the Germans, innovative technologies were employed in transforming the straight-winged XFJ-1 into the swept-wing F-86 Sabre that would dominate the skies over Korea in the 1950s. The Sabre represented many firsts in technology and design. Swept-wing configuration has become a standard for jet-powered aircraft. The then revolutionary ( INVENTED IN BRITAIN !!! ) but now commonplace 'flying tail' allows the aircraft excellent maneuverability at high altitudes. In addition, the Sabre employs a hydraulic system for the movement of the flight controls, eliminating the excessive control stick forces necessary to maneuver other types of airplanes at high speeds. The Sabre was delivered to the Air Force in 1948. The first production model flew on May 20, 1948, and on September 15, 1948, an F-86A set a new world speed record of 670.9 mph. Originally designated as the F-86A, the Sabre would undergo a number of changes resulting in a variety of model designations. YOU ARE A LIAR AND A TOTAL LOSER

Fine aircraft of its time. But the Russian migs out flew it. Which is why we built the F86 Saber jet. Now that was some plane!
