The Supermarine Seafang emerged in 1946 as a naval fighter variant with one engine driving a single-seat aircraft to 764.4 km/h. With a 10.7-metre wingspan and compact 10.4-metre fuselage, it represented immediate post-war fighter development for carrier operations. The Seafang marked the transition to jet-powered naval aviation.
