mixed-powered fighter!!!!!!, early jet engines had sluggish acceleration that was considered unsafe and unsuitable for carrier operations!!!
1,350-horsepower (1,010 kW) Wright R-1820-72W Cyclone radial engine was mounted in the fighter's nose while a 1,600 lbf (7,100 N) General Electric I-16 turbojet was mounted in the rear fuselage.
