Canard Combat Aircraft Of World War II

I bet it had the same problem as the P-39. Flat stalls. With the Engine in the back like that must have made it tail heavy.
 
Crash of the XP-55 Ascender

From what I read................yes they were testing stall characteristics of the XP-55

In both crashes....the test pilot was able to bail.............

From the photo of the crash site.................the XP-55 looks like the prototype for the Vought V-173 flying pancake....................

So, yes I agree.............it must have been a flat spin when it hit the ground...........or pancaked.......
