History's Most Dangerous Aircraft Models

The Vought F7U Cutlass

The Cutlass was a pioneer in the fighter jet world. Its classic design made it stand out among the other jets. Unfortunately, the sleek design was the only redeeming quality for this plane. 

Despite its seemingly aerodynamic features, the Cutlass could not stay in the air for very long. In fact, it could barely take off the runway! Around a quarter of every takeoff would land the Cutlass right into the dirt. It was quickly retired.
