The V-143 prototype was finally purchased by Japan in July 1937 for $ 175,000. It underwent a technical evaluation by the Japanese Navy as the Navy Experimental Fighter Type V (for Vought) ( 181:
The competing bids were evaluated by the Air Corps in April 1936. Vought offered to sell V-141s at a unit price of $ 34,148 for a batch of 25 aircraft (excluding engines and Government provided equipment), reducing to $ 16,041 for a batch of 200 aircraft.
