Summary
[edit]DescriptionCurtiss XBTC-2 with technician c1946.jpg | A technician from Aeroproducts woking on the vibration equipment of a U.S. Navy Curtiss XBTC-2. Among the aircraft procured by the Navy for evaluation as a bombing-torpedo aircraft, the XBTC-2 was a single-seater that featured a 3,000 hp Pratt & Whitney XR-4360-8A equipped with unique contrarotating propellers. Curtiss-Wright received the contract for the aircraft on 31 December 1943, but the XBTC-2 did not take to the air for its maiden flight until July 1946. This was well after the first flights of the Douglas XBT2D-1 Skyraider and Martin XBTM-1 Mauler that were ultimately chosen to compete for the contract. |
