Could an Implacable operate Corsairs, and could a large order justify giving the Corsair a Grumman-style wing fold?
Short answerThe low hangar height is treated as the obstacle. A rearward fold is difficult because of the Corsair's gull wing, and the proposed alternatives are not developed into a design.
NotesA folding wing can still be too tall for a carrier's hangar. The Corsair's upward fold prompts a comparison with the lower folded profile of Grumman aircraft. After an initial disagreement, the participants return to the Implacables' roughly 14-foot hangar height as the limiting dimension. A follow-up asks whether a large order could justify changing the Corsair to a rearward fold. Its gull-wing geometry makes that modification difficult, and an alternative folding arrangement remains a suggestion rather than a worked design.
