• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

I thought it was the Fairchild at first but could not find one with the fin fillet. I'm going with the North American XSN2J-1.
 
Hi Kevin :salute:
Correct. One of the 2 prototypes of the XSN2J-1 :icon29:
Larry was on the right track.
I understand the XSN2-J-1 was competing with the Fairchild XNQ-1 (YT-31 when evaluated by the USAF) for a possible USN order. Always wondered why a 295hp machine (XNQ-1) was competing with a 1,100hp (XSN2J-1) aircraft.

Kevin, surprise us!
 
Thanks for the beer. Need it for another (101F) hot day a brewing.

Here is an oddball torpedo bomber (to me anyways)...

As far as I know, there were very few land versions and those were exported. From a well known company.
 
Here is where the plot thickens. This biplane was powered by a Armstrong Siddeley Leopard radial.


For those keeping score, 110F today. About to lose my mind...:ichile:
