| Subsequent development of the VE-7 and VE-9
resulted in the UO which had an
airframe basically similar to that
of the VE series but with some
refinements (the most noticeable
being the revised vertical tail surfaces)
and which was powered initially by
the 149kW Lawrence J-1 or
J-3, later by Wright J-1 or J-3 radial
engine, and from 1927 many were
re-engined with the 164kW Wright J-5. Final development brought
an order for 20 UO-3 single-seat
catapult-launched floatplane fighters,
but before delivery these were redesignated
FU-1.
