Curtiss XP-30

5,198 SchadeAircaftCompany  2.9 years ago

For 20190422’s Curtiss Conqueror Challenge, the fictional Curtiss XP-30. Giving a 1930’s look, this monoplane is designed with the Conqueror engine in mind. Having a huge intake on the bottom for oil coolers and radiator, streamlined engine coverings with exhaust pipes, fixed landing gear, and a razorback canopy, which slides back, it is the pinnacle of 1930’s technology. It boasts 2 cowl mounted MGs for its armament, and a zeroed in scope sight for accurate shooting. Although it may not be the fastest or most maneuverable, it can hold its own in any dogfight, with a similar era plane that is.

    A fighter, right?
    How about giving her a chance to compete in Class D (racing aircraft)?
