The main landing gear retracted inward into the wings, telescoping nine inches to clear the underside of the fuselage, and the steerable tailwheel was fully retractable. With a loaded weight of 12,086 lb, the XP-47B was almost twice as heavy as its competitors. Performance was higher than expected with a maximum speed of 412 mph. 65: 667:, two P-47G-15-CUs were modified on the production line as prototypes for a trainer variant of the P-47. A second cockpit was added in front of the original, taking the place of the main fuselage fuel tank. Nicknamed "Doublebolt", these were the only factory-built two-seat P-47 trainers, though a few P-47Ds are known to have been fitted with a second seat as a field modification. 1096:. The Thunderbolt's eight guns were to be relocated to the nose. Soon after work began, Republic engineers realized that mounting a turbojet engine onto the Thunderbolt airframe was not feasible, and even if it were, performance likely would not improve by much. Therefore, the project was canceled and never made it past the concept drawing phase. 411: 885: 745: 708: 1037: 185:. Armament was increased to eight M2 Brownings, four mounted in each wing, making it one of the heaviest-armed fighters considered by the USAAC at the time. The expected performance met USAAC requirements, however, its fuel load fell slightly short. Despite this, the USAAC ordered a prototype of the improved design as the 167: 396:(for a total of five) on each side (this was absent on early aircraft, making them indistinguishable from P-47Cs). Internal changes included extra cockpit armor and changes to the turbo-supercharger exhaust system. Eventually, these changes would be incorporated into the Farmingdale-built aircraft, these designated 918:
s. An improved 13' Curtiss Electric C542S-B40 propeller was fitted, and changes were made to increase speed. These improvements raised the top speed to 473 mph. In September 1944, the last 130 aircraft from the original P-47D-30-RE order were converted into an order for a production version

28-cylinder radial engine driving contra-rotating six-bladed Aeroproducts propellers and armed with six M2 Brownings. The USAAF ordered two prototypes on June 18, 1943. The first prototype, with a four-bladed propeller due to delayed delivery of the intended unit, was first flown on February 2,
955:. The USAAF placed an order for 1,900 P-47Ns on June 20, 1944, two days before the prototype was first flown, and many more orders followed, deliveries began in September 1944. 1,816 P-47Ns were built in six production blocks, with orders for an additional 5,934 aircraft being canceled after 723:
The XP-47J was first flown on November 26, 1943, and on August 4, 1944, it became the first piston-engined fighter to exceed 500 mph, with a speed of 504 mph, making it the fastest Thunderbolt variant. A production version of the XP-47J was canceled in favor of another Thunderbolt
339:, improving flight characteristics. Minor changes to the main undercarriage were made, and tailwheel steering was omitted. Other minor changes were made to the turbo-supercharger air duct, elevator control system, and controls. 54 built, plus one P-47C-RE modified as the prototype. 720:. Unlike the XP-47H, the sole XP-47J was a newly built airframe, with many changes to reduce weight. The aircraft was fitted with a 2,800 hp R-2800-57C engine with a CH-5 supercharger, housed in a redesigned streamlined cowling. Armament was reduced to six M2 Brownings. 312:
radios. The main external difference between the P-47B and C was the upright antenna mast, which replaced the B's forward-swept mast. The C variant was built in four production blocks totaling 602 aircraft, with production ending in February 1943 when Republic's

fighters. In response, the USAAC issued new requirements for a fighter including an airspeed of 400 mph at 25,000 ft, an armament of six or (preferably) eight .50 in machine guns, cockpit armor plating,
913:
led Republic to begin development of a high-speed variant of the Thunderbolt. Four P-47D-27-RE were modified with a 2,800 hp R-2800-57C engine with a CH-5 supercharger and the dive brakes of the P-47D-30 as

at Evansville. These aircraft were based on the XP-47L with increased fuel capacity. Bubbletop P-47D production totaled 3,028 aircraft, built in eight production blocks, for a grand total of 12,558 P-47Ds.

The XP-47B crashed on August 8, 1942, however, an order for 773 production aircraft had been placed almost two years before on September 13, 1940. The production aircraft, designated

The first delivery of a Curtiss-Wright-built P-47G was in December 1942. In all, Curtiss-Wright built 354 P-47Gs in five production blocks before production ended in March 1944. 304:

The USAAC was impressed by the AP-10 proposal, but expressed concerns that it would be underarmed. Kartveli revised the AP-10 by slightly increasing its size and mounting two

Sometimes referred to as the 480:, with a 2,300 hp R-2800-63 engine and an improved GE C-23 supercharger. Changes were made to the flaps as well as the cooling, oil, and hydraulic systems. 250 built. 384:(successor to the USAAC) ordered an additional 850 P-47s. Unable to keep up with the demand with their main plant in Farmingdale, New York, Republic built a new plant in 392:, with the first aircraft rolling off the production line in September 1942. The initial production block was based on the P-47C-2-RE or C-5-RE, but with two additional 4251: 468:, with a GE C-21 supercharger and water injection as well as improved B-7 bomb/drop tank shackles. Later aircraft featured notches in the lower cowl flaps. 300 built. 359:(photographic evidence shows that some C-5-REs and future razorback variants were fitted with either the mast or whip antenna, with no apparent standard). 362 built. 174:
On June 12, 1940, Kartveli submitted the redesigned AP-10 to the USAAC. The new aircraft was much larger than the original, and the inline engine was swapped for a

The cockpit floor and tailwheel linkage were redesigned, along with other minor changes. 167 built. 400:. 21 production blocks of the "razorback" P-47D, totaling 9,530 aircraft, would be built by both plants before production switched to the "bubbletop" D-variant. 1053:
was proposed by Alexander Kartveli as a replacement for the P-47. The aircraft was a development of the bubbletop P-47D, but was to be powered by 3,450 hp
268:. Modifications included a pressurized cockpit with a hinged canopy. The project was canceled due to increased emphasis on low-level operations over Europe. 2851: 4256: 284:. The XP-47F was first flown on September 17, 1942, but project was ultimately canceled when the aircraft crashed and no production aircraft followed. 753:
A common complaint from P-47 pilots was that the razorback cockpit limited rearward visibility. In response to these complaints, Republic fitted a

4517: 4488: 4231: 2844: 1001:, Evansville equivalent of the N-20-RE. 149 built. The final Thunderbolt built, s/n 45-50123, was from this production block. 765:, the aircraft's new canopy improved visibility greatly. Another "bubbletop" prototype was modified from a P-47D-20-RE as the 211:. Only 171 of the original order were completed as P-47Bs before production switched to the P-47C.

Even with the second plant, Republic was still having trouble keeping up with the ever increasing orders for Thunderbolts.

923:. Deliveries began in December 1944, though engine problems delayed their combat debut until a few weeks before the 4750: 4169: 4152: 4110: 4063: 2837: 910: 729: 112: 4053: 4016: 3994: 3979: 3918: 3893: 3793: 3713: 3217: 3207: 3116: 2928: 700:
