The FR-1 was powered by a 1,425 hp (1,063 kW) Wright R-1820-72W Cyclone Radial piston engine and one 1,600 lb (7.12 kN) Thrust General Electric J31 turbojet. The aircraft had a maximum both engine speed of 426 mpg (686 km/h) at 18,100 ft (5,515 m), a service ceiling of 43,100 ft (13,135 m) and range of 1,030 miles (1.658 km). Empty weight was 7,915 lb (3,590 kg) and max take off weight was 10,595 lb (4,806 kg). The wingspan measured 40 ft (12.19 m), with a length of 32 ft 4 in (9.86 m) and height of 13 ft 7 3/4 in (4.15 m). Wing area was 275 sq ft (25.55 sq m). Armament consisted of four wing mounted 0.5 in (12.7 mm ) machine guns and up to 1,000 lb (454 kg) of bombs or eight 5 in (127 mm) rockets.

- The Ryan FR-1 Fireball was a mixed-power (piston and jet-powered) fighter aircraft designed by Ryan Aeronautical for the United States Navy during World War II. It was the Navy's first aircraft with jet propulsion. Only 66 aircraft were built before Japan surrendered in August 1945. The FR-1 Fireball equipped a single squadron before the end of the war, but did not see combat. The aircraft ultimately proved to lack the structural strength required for operations aboard aircraft carriers and was withdrawn in mid-1947.
