| Description | 330-PS-800 (USN 707980): U.S. Navy’s Heaviest Carrier Plane Completes Trial Landings. The U.S. Navy’s latest and heaviest carrier aircraft, AJ-1, attack bomber, poises for take-off on the flight deck of USS Coral Sea (CV-43), on which the plane has successfully completed trial landings, October 28, 1950. An unloaded, AJ-1, weighing in excess of 17 tons became the heaviest aircraft ever to land onboard a U.S. Navy carrier when it was set down on Coral Sea’s flight deck in exercises off the Virginia Capes. Manufactured by North American Aviation Inc, at its Downey California Plant, the AJ-1 is designed for high-speed attack missions from aircraft carriers. It has a top speed in excess of 250 miles an hour, and carries a crew of three seated in a pressurized cockpit. The unique piston-jet power arrangement of the AJ-1 includes two conventional Pratt and Whitney R-2800 reciprocating engines located under the wings and a single Allison J-33 Turbo-Jet mounted in the after section of the fuselage.
