The two are from the same era of the mid 1950's. Of course the FJ-4B was produced insmall numbers of 370 vs maybe 10000
Mig -17's. When the Vietnam war showed how nuch dangerous this plane can be in tight dogfights they use the Fury to simulate dogfights against Mig -17's because of rhe performance similarity of the two. The Mig -17 had the VK1 engine with an AB while the Fury didn't.
The Mig- ŕ17 therefor was faster at low level with 710 mph va 680 of the Fury. While the length was close the Fury had bigger wings.
The Fury had a mach 1.15 limit while the mig -17 was barely able to break the sound barrier with the most stipper dive.
The Fury served in the NAVY and MARINES while the Mig -17 was serving in countles number of airforces.
