- Watch the full start-up procedure of a F4U Corsair (OE-EAS) of The Flying Bulls in 4K with 100% original sound.
The Vought F4U Corsair is an American fighter aircraft.
Designed and initially manufactured by Chance Vought, the Corsair was soon in great demand.
The Chance Vought F4U Corsair was developed to reach maximum speed with minimal air resistance. Every stud is flush-mounted, the transitions are aerodynamically perfect, and every footstep and handle blends into the aluminum skin of the body. Both the main undercarriage and the tail wheel can be retracted into the shaft and disappear under precise closing lids that were manufactured at a time when computers did not even exist in science fiction films.
The prototype of the Corsair was developed in 1938. The model aimed to deliver around 2000 HP from an 18 cylinder double radial engine by Pratt & Whitney. The 46,000 cubic centimeters of the propulsion make it not only extremely powerful, but also really loud. The gull-wing configuration, which made it possible to install a relatively short and light carriage, was a result of the propeller’s large four-meter diameter. Precise surface geometry resulted in three beautifully engineered and divided hydraulic landing flaps known as Fowler flaps.
Today, the single-seated masterpiece is fully aerobatic and presented at various air displays throughout Europe by the Flying Bulls!

I truly believe that out of all of the great creations in the world and in the history of humanity, imho, fighter planes (all types) are at the very top of the list of "amazing creations."
Whether the creation be artwork, structure, medical/biological advancements, buildings, housing, plumbing, electricity, steam power, computers, internet, ships, trains, guns, tools, musical instruments, so many countless other inventions/creations, I truly believe WW2 era fighter planes are, this one being a wonderful example of something that is true greatness. Regardless of inherent flaws or limits of late 30's early to mid 40's engineering and aircraft manufacturing, aircraft like this I would be proud to say is one thing humans created that inspires and impresses without fail. I envy that pilot very much. It is amazing also though, that 80 years ago, that aircraft was not made for fun or to show off. It was made as weapons platform.
Thank you for this, we could not agree more!
All I can say at my age 72 it is still the most beautiful airplane ever built, I am not a pilot but to me they are bad a**
It really just that plus so cool. Tks . God Bless. ❤😊
It seems an unfortunate positive how much world war two accelerated the development of aircraft.
I know a man that flew a F4U in the war. He was friends with Pappy Boyington. Never flew with him , but was friends with him. My favorite airplane since i was 8 years old.
History. Awesome!
Black Sheep Squadron!

My Grandfather worked on these planes in WW2 on the USS Essex. So awesome to see a piece of history in the air that I use to enjoy hearing his stories about.
that is awesone
Awesome, my uncle flew one of these planes off the U.S.S. Essex. In fact his final mission of the Essex was Sept 11, 1945 when he had to ditch in rice paddies in China. The Chinese civilians hide him and helped him rejoin American troops.
I’m a commercial airline pilot and former USAF Pilot…I would give my LEFT NUT to have a chance to fly this gorgeous piece of machinery… Unbelievable
So is it still up for grabs?
well if ya get the chance, itsa notorios torque tried to salam you into the ground when yer wheels left the ground.... other then that...its a lovely bird... I miss flying it.
@@HarmonRAB-hp4nk lucky SOB…I’ll bet it’s awesome to fly…
@@HarmonRAB-hp4nk Watched the record of Lt. Groves' death just yesterday. Yyyup, he pulled up and became a fok'n human gyroscope on the axis of the engine. Drew a whole ass circle an high-fived Poseidon right away.
One of my favorite planes of all time
Seems ridiculous that most fail to call the F4U as the "Wildcat", precursor to the F6U 'Hellcat" and the F8u "Bearcat"!!
Ah, the magnificent Corsair……
What a beautiful piece of aviation history.
Such a beast of a plane.
I worked my summer evenings for a gentleman that was an agricultural aerial applicator but he also owned one of these magnificent planes. There is not a WW II aircraft that looks or has the whistle or howl of the Corsair. The Japanese named it the “Whistling Death”!
I think the Corsair is the most magnificent aircraft of WWII.
👍💯
👍or Hellcat, P-51
The P-38 is high on my list.
I believe the F6F holds the most air-to-air kills in WWII but correct me if I'm wrong.
I've never drank a Red Bull (just don't drink "energy" drinks) in My life. But hats off to Red Bull for engaging so fully in Aviation and taking such good care of these historical and important aircraft.
In my drinking days. I drank Red Bull with vodka. That way I was an alert drunk. Quit drinking years ago. Don't miss it.
There is nothing like the sound of an F4U Corsair.
Perhaps a 2 stroke dirtbike....
A focke wulf fw 190😊
Or a P-47 or an F-6F, since all three birds were packing the same exact engine. The P-51 is merely the great pretender, as good as it was.
Top fuel dragsters/ funny cars … electric guitar runnin through a Marshall amp set to 11 🎶🎵🎶🎵😜
My absolute favorite WW2 Fighter!
Beautiful, graceful and very deadly!!
When I was in the U S Navy and in the Navy Reserves I drilled in Grand Prarie, Tx at NAS Dallas. The Vought Aircraft Company had an F4U that they kept in flying condition. What a beautiful aircraft!
Look at that beauty!
Its as if it were being wheeled out of the Chance Vought showroom after handing over the keys and owners manual to a 19 year old Kansas farm boy for his new job at Henderson Field.
Had a toy of this plane when I was a kid. I was fascinated how the wings folded. The sounds I made while flying it were pretty close. :)
My dad was a Marine Corps master sergent and master of the corsair! Chief of maintenance for his squadron. WW 2 and Korea.
The true heroes of this area
Some love, some hate RedBull, but the fact, they maintain some really rare planes, helicopters, is so amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A totally amazing aeroplane.
My dad ( a Kiwi) was a Corsair pilot in the royal navy on aircraft carriers during WW2.
Must have been a bit of a come down back in civi street to be getting about inan Austin 7.
He was one of the lucky ones.
all good except they were shooting at ya😂❤
The F4U to this day is the sexiest plane in the sky….
One of my favorites as a kid, I even had a model of one... I don't how this guy can't overly excited by just doing a pretrip. I can tell he has flown this plane several times!!!
There are many types of F4U models out there, this one is a F4U-4 Corsair. This one has a much more powerful engine than the other models like the F4U-1A or the F4U-1D. It was also made in the late war of ww2
It´s loud - it´s blue - it´s an F4U
Right around 8:50 it sounds like a big ass harley idling...and it should, same design principles on the crank.
All around very nice aircraft. One of the most successful of the war in the Pacific.
Does Harley make a small-ass version?
even the way it retracts its wheels is spectacular. Hard to believe that aircraft was manufactured, it seems alive.
Ah, the star of the show, that gorgeous beast
That shot of it lowering its wings at 8:20 is gorgeous. That massive “mouth” for the engine and those curved wings look so aggressive, almost science fiction like.
Although lots of WW2 warbird aficinados say that Mustang/Spitfire/Me-109 are epitomes of aviation...IMHO... Would have to say Corsair, Jug & FW-190 are my "3 Musketeers"
La 5 FN is the best.That is all you need to know.
Corsairs just push my start button. I dont know why. Maybe i flew one in a past life or something.
NVMF-214 Black Sheep. Loved it!
Thats exactly my kind of ASMR! Only thing i miss is pint of Avgas to smell the thing.
The air duct you see before the large opening for the R-2800 indicates this wasp motor is supercharged. So its actually making closer to 2,800-3,000 horsepower
All R2800 engines in fact had some sort of supercharging, from early singe-speed/single -stage mechanical to the complicated turbosupercharger on the Thunderbolt. The highest power output for any in service was the -73 in the P-61 with a turbosupercharger and 2800hp. The highest power Corsairs to see service in WW2 had 2380hp with the -18W, which had water/methanol injection to get that power, but only for short bursts, and the -32W, also with water/methanol, plus a variable speed two-stage supercharger.
Lots of foreplay in the video,but it was worth it ! The most beautiful aircraft,in my opinion .
Excellent video! What a machine, it’s amazing that this particular machine was built in 1945 and has been restored to flyable condition. Also no music overlay makes it all stand out.
Got to take off behind one of these and a B17 last week, was a real treat to say the least.
Reno Nv. U.S.A.!!! I was working next to the airport in Hayward CA. Hearing planes take off all day!!! Heard one Learjet sounded cool!!! Then I heard something special,,, It sounded like a 426 Hemi taxiing down the runway!!! When I saw it take off,,, You guessed it it was a F4U CORSAIR!!! IT SUUNDS LIKE NHRA!!! I STOPED WORKING,,, WENT OUY SIDE JUST TO SEE WHAT IT WAS!!!
For those here specifically due to the video title, to hear that heavenly SOUND: They begin actually starting the engine at ~ 7:30. I just saved 7.5 minutes of your life. You're welcome.
You shouldn't have to... All those shots before the engine start were just amazing...
When I was younger I worked for a retired Lt Commander in the navy who flew most of the piston powered planes during WW2 and he said the Corsair was his favorite plane,very agile, fast and manueverable, He called it The bent wing widow maker, it was known as that name be cause it suffered no fools for pilots. He also said the wings were bent to accomodate the diameter of the big propn for extra groung clearance. He also praised the Hell Cat.
Very true.
But there were 3 reasons why Rex Beisel later suggested the inverted gull wing over Vought engineer's first choice of the straight mid-wing design.
The inverted gull wing attached to the fuselage for aerodynamic efficiency, less drag, therefore increased speed, as the first choice mid-wing configuration accomplished. This was Beisel's requirement. He stated speed was king and no compromises would be acceptable.
The inverted gull wing artificially pushed up the fuselage for adequate propeller ground clearance for the 13' 4" propeller diameter. As you stated.
By placing the landing gear at the lowest point of the wing allowed for a short and sturdy landing gear for carrier operations and therefore eliminated the need for a complicated folding mechanism for the landing gear to fit inside the wing when retracted.
These were the two complications that arose with the engineers first choice mid-wing design.
@@johnklatt3522 That makes sense, Commander Williams was a pilot not an engineer and he loved those plans especially after flying the wild cats.
Love the redbull logo its so cool having a charging bull on the front of the plane!
Oh yea, cause everyone loves an energy drink being branded on a 1940s warbird with tons of history. So cool.
@@bernardberben4852 atleast they keep it maintained and flying
Beautiful, formidable, and spectacular design to look at. Built a model of one of these when I was a kid - favorite.
Oh - and the sound that won it the moniker "Whistling Death". 7:52.
Corsairs are just awesome!
This is my most favorite radial engine driven aircraft!
The most AWESOME Radial Engine Aircraft of WWII and Korea. The Whistling Death was the BOSS!
I love that chop of the engine. Sounds like a classic muscle car.
It was one of my favourite model airfix kits to build when I was younger
Always said the top 3 best ww2 aircraft: (1) Spitfire, (2) Mustang (3) F4U Corsair
masquito😂❤
And Messerschmitt Bf 109 Luftwaffe
Don’t get me wrong the P51 is a great plane as were many during WWII, but the F4U is my favorite design. Love that gull wing. 🤛👍🙏🦅😎🇺🇸
That is just one of the kewlezt sounds in history.
The beast has awaken from its slumber
Sei froh, dass Du das Privileg hast dort so zu filmen und danke für die Deine tollen Beiträge
As a child in my motherland, mes amis, I read the memoirs of a chap who was a combat pilote of one of these in WWII. He claimed that the Flight Manual stated that the glide-characteristics were SO poor, that if the engine stopped, you should "bail-out (if high enough) ... OR Whistle A Happy Tune and Kiss Your Ass Goodbye ! "... because a 'dead-stick’ landing was very iffy.
Pappy Boyngton
This young brutha seemed to have no problem landing....
czcams.com/video/gb-gicD4hQ8/video.html
Nice to hear !!!🥸
I knew Buck Ridley the man who used to own that airplane, he was a great man thank y'all for keeping his memory alive by keeping his airplane flying !!
the F4u has always been my favorite warbird followed closely by the F6F Hellcat . It just has more personality with that monster radial than than a P51's V12 engine.
what a Beast... Crazy beautiful
man that idle chop is amazing.
Good to see Red Bull is spending my money wisely.
Without the RedBull logo, it will be perfect......😢
I like it the way it is
Without RedBull it would have been a wreck hidden somewhere in the hangar...
@@p.c.9714ridiculous to think that. Easily would be bought and flown by another collector
RedBull makes it . What are you talking about?
@@hulkhoganstights6596
Buy yes...for collection yes....
But in this case, all off the historical marks are removed....just for advertysing.
As ol' Sgt.Micklin said in the Black Sheep Squadron episode "Hotshots", "That is one fine lookin' airplane." Although he was lookin' at a P-38 Lightning.
Mechanical piece of art
Superb photography of a beautiful aeroplane. Would be even better in 60 fps.
I'm 60 years old. Asked to oversee restoration to airworthiness of a P-47 removed from its assembly line in 1945 when production ceased. It has never flown. Struggling to decide if I can devote what remains of my youth, married to a decade long (at least) endeavor.
Obviously if you have that skill ... I doubt you would be anywhere near as happy spending that time watching The Price Is Right 👀
THE bird of all birds!
I wish to build a full scale replica.
It always amazes me at how those folding wings stay latched.
Eine wundervolle Maschine. Und sehr gute Aufnahme der Startvorbereitung. 👍
Be still my heart!!! My all time fav plane in all it's showroom glory. I know I say that about every one of your air fleet, but really, listen to the lope of that Pratt @9:55 and don't tell you don't get hard chills thinking of that power with 130 octane av gas. Thanks for the video.
BEAUTIFUL MACHINE...
Simplesmente MARAVILHOS!
That is raw piston power ! 😮😊
Magnifique, mon préféré, merci pour cette belle vidéo 😊🇨🇵🇨🇵
Just hope they did a penetrant dye inspection or an x-ray inspection of all the primary structure elements that might have microscopic cracks before they subject them to air loads and aerodynamic forces. That would be the safest approach to restoring and bringing this vintage aircraft up to airworthiness.
Engine starts @ 7:45
One of the most bad ass fighter planes of the war....along with the P51 Mustang, P38 Lightning, P47 Thunderbolt and F6F Hellcat.
Belíssima máquina.
Just waiting for this plane to come out in DCS!
A beast. respect.
Was für ein Monster
Who ever the care taker of the plane is, cudos to them because dam that is a clean plane
2500cc each cylinder engine 🤯 insane engineering
Such a stunning aircraft. Gorgeous!
Eaz the throttle back enjoy the ride
Awesome ol girl.......but am I the only one who thinks it's a sin to have Redbull painted on the side of this piece of art?
Old Pappy,,,,, would be Proud 😅……. Now,,,, wears the Beer…🍺🍻🍺🍻
Beautiful bird. Thank god Max isn't flying. but seriously I love Red Bull for what they have done in aviation and motorsport!
That Linde P250 SWB tug tho
Toujours aussi beau
Absolutely stunning, one of my all-time faves like most others here it seems!
My all time favorite piston pounder..BAA BAA BLACK SHEEP
Love.That.Plane.
Nice aircraft but still nothing beats the sound of the spitfire!!
If there’s one aircraft that looks its ready to get into a fight it’s this one
Whistling Death!
Such a beautiful plane. I wish I knew how to fly and had the money to buy one. The only thing better than the F4U-4 Corsair and its rotary engine is the P51 Mustang and its supercharged Rolls-Royce Merlin engine.
What a masterpiece 😍😍😍😍😍
What a beauty!
My dad worked on those in the Navy, USS Shangri-la
Landing on a WWII flattop with that long nose blocking the view had to be difficult.
Had a model when I was a kid....50years ago....😅
A beautiful aircraft.❤
Anybody else love star up sound?
Behold the Whistling Death❤
Es una ave muy hermosa...
Lo hace carretear de más...
What a beast!
Thank you. What an airplane.
Please give credit to all the Brilliant engineers who designed this amazing plane and the other engineers who built the monster engine that made it preform.
