So when should we expect the ultimate swept-wing development?

Hi Just call me Ray,

Brings a new perspective on the hellhound-development. Have to figure it out for myself...takes a few days I think.

Curtiss-Seversky-Grumman developed the Hellhound II. It had the interest of New Zealand and in 1954 they ordered one testplane for their airforce. The F9FBV-3.

At the final stage of the Korean war the Curtiss-Seversky-Grumman collaboration came with the F9FBV-3B Hellhound II, this was the jet-aircraft with a swept-wing. Like the Battlehawk it was maneuverable and smooth to handle.
