Curtis' design featured propellers and small wings near the neck, an unusual design at the time. The first flight trial was done in July 1943, but because the development of the X-1800 engine that was planned to be installed had been canceled, the 1,000 hp Allison V-1710 I was used instead. Prototype 1 crashed during a test in November 1943.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the following year, the 2nd and 3rd machines were created, which featured a different width in the small wings to improve the maneuverability. However, maneuverability at low speed had not improved, and the development plan of this machine was canceled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit recreates the XP-55 as its Unit 2 \/ Unit 3 form\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComes with paint masking seals, photo-etched parts and two kinds of decals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can choose between an open or closed canopy while building.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e188mm in length, and about 258mm in width\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes Clear parts, photo-etched parts, decals, masking seals\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MODELSVIT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44803900407944,"sku":"MSVIT4808","price":74.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0650\/3150\/4008\/files\/MSVIT4808-1.jpg?v=1773276090","url":"https:\/\/hobbiesonline.com.au\/products\/modelsvit-4808-1-48-xp-55-ascender","provider":"Hobbies Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
