[p align="justify"]The XF5U prototype was a realization of the “flying pancake” concept proposed by aircraft innovator Charles Zimmerman back in 1933. It featured two coaxial, counter-rotating propellers and a disc (or pancake) shape that created a powerful air cushion, allowing the aircraft to take off and land almost vertically. However, by the time construction was completed in 1947, the project was plagued by insurmountable technical problems, and the overall move towards jet aircraft never allowed the prototype to reach production.[/p][p align="justify"]The XF5U is arguably one of the most unique aircraft to ever come to War Thunder. This pancake-shaped aircraft boasts a good top speed at medium altitudes, six .50 cal machine guns at the sides of the cockpit, and the ability to carry a pair of 500 or 1,000 lb bombs, great for use in air battles as well as combined modes![/p][table equalcells="1" colwidth=",,"][tr][td][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/4649813/8853b033edb3318f02534a2228e8c9778718e016.png"][/img]
