This plane was an abanded project, yiu could look it up on youtube to see the history on it. It was made in WW II, Curtiss-Wright company made the first design, when they made a modle of it. It wasn’t that good in the wind tunle. When the plane made its first maden flight, the pilot had to bale because of the plane crashing to the ground. The plane had a few more tests to different typs of the modle, none of them worked well enough for the end of WW II, so the project was canceled when jets became the new era for planes.
