[quote] [Consider the case of the F4U, it did not get its carrier wings due to the massive torque effect of the engine/prop at 'go-around',/quote]

The reason for the gullwing on the F4U is the 13'4"diameterHamilton-Standard prop required to absorb the 2,000+HP (and torque) of the P&W R-2800 Double Wasp, at that time the most powerful engine on any fighter. On its maiden, the flight ended prematurely when the elevator trim tabs failed and the test pilot wrestled it to a successful landing.
