The F7U was designed by Vought’s Rex Beisel, but among its creators was also Woldemar Voigt, formerly a senior designer at Messerschmidt, where he had worked on projects like Me 328, Me 163 Komet, Me P.1110 and Me P.1112. In the US Voigt went on to work on his ideas of a swept-wing jet fighter, developing the F7U. The F7U also benefited from research conducted by the German aircraft manufacturer Arado during WWII.
