Curtiss XP-10

30.0k Dumpworks  8.1 years ago

An experiemntal fighter by Curtiss, it was actually really good during testing the gull wing gave the pilot good vision and minimized drag, though to overcome drag instead of a normal radiator brass plates were installed on the top wing where cooling water ran through, ingenious but it created some mechanical problems and was a huge target
