The Vought F4U-5 was the last propeller-driven fighter of the US Navy. It was developed from the F4U-4; the prototype was a converted F4U-4 (BuNo. 27296). Numerous new technologies were incorporated into the aircraft, and its first flight took place on December 21, 1945.
The F4U-5 had the longest nose of any Corsair. The extended nose housed the 2,300 hp R-2800-32W engine with an automatically regulated turbocharger. The cockpit and canopy were redesigned.
Production of the F4U-5 was limited to 233 aircraft at the end of the war.
