	Vultee XP-54
		The Vultee Aircraft Corporation was very largely the brainchild of Gerard Vultee, formerly chief engineer at Lockheed Aircraft Corporation during the time that Lockheed was owned by Detroit Aircraft.
		Gerard Vultee and his wife were killed in a plane crash in January 1938.
		On September 7, 1940, the USAAC announced to Vultee that they were changing the mission of the XP-54 from that of low-level combat to that of high-altitude bomber interceptor.

		he XP-54, Vultee Model 70, was designed as a fast interceptor using the Pratt & Whitney X-1800-4AG engine.
		When the engine program was canceled, the aircraft was redesigned for the Lycoming XH-2470 and redesignated Vultee Model 84.
		The first of two XP-54s built made its initial flight on 15 January 1943 and flew 86 times before it was grounded by engine problems.

		One, the Vultee XP‑54, was the most traditional, with a central nacelle holding the cockpit and engine, with tail surfaces supported by booms to either side of the propeller arc.
		Gerard Vultee and his wife were killed in a plane crash in January 1938 just prior to the USAAC issuing Circular Proposal R-40C.
		The performance of the 3 XP prototype aircraft built was roughly the same as conventional fighters of the time and never entered production.

	The Vultee XP-54
		On the other hand the design may be entirely satisfactory but is shelved because its small margin of superiority over existing types makes reconversion impractical.
		Such a plane is the Consolidated Vultee XP‑54.
		The drawings are accurately scaled and will serve as the basis for both a flying or exhibition model.

	Propeller Configurations
		The U.S. Army banned this type of propeller configuration in late 1914 after several pilots died in crashes of planes of this type.
		The Vultee XP-54 is an example of an aircraft with a pusher propeller.
		Three such pusher designs were actually flight tested—the Vultee XP-re, Curtiss XP-5, and Northrop XP-56.

	A Push For Performance (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Three such pusher designs actually were flight tested, the Vultee XP-54, Curtiss XP-55, and Northrop XP-56.
		Performance generally was disappointing and due to the success of conventional fighters, the need for further testing of such unusual designs vanished.
		Although Vultee hoped it would reach a top speed of 510 mph., its maximum was 381.

		The V-1 first flew on 19 February 1933 and could carry a crew of 2 and 8 passengers to a range of 1,000 miles at a cruising speed of 215 mph.
		Two prototypes were delivered to the USAAC for official testing with one aircraft achieving 63 hours of flight time and the other making only one test flight.
		The XP-54 had a wingspan of 53 feet 10 inches, a length of 54 feet 8 inches, a cruising speed of 255 mph and a max speed of 381 mph at an altitude of 36,700 feet.

	XP-54 Info (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		The Vultee XP-54 was designed as a competitor for a 1939 USAAC specification for a single-seat interceptor fighter, competing against the Curtiss-Wright
		The engine was initially to have been the Pratt and Whitney X-1800, though this was later changed to the Lycoming XH-2470 24-cylinder engine, making it one of the only U.S. fighters to have been made with a 24 cylinder engine (see also the P-75 Eagle).
		Type: single-seat fighter Crew: 1 Armament: two.50 cal machine guns in the nose two 37-mm T-12/T-13 cannon in the nose Specifications: Length: 54' 8.75" Height: 14' 6" Wingspan: 53' 10" Wing area: 455.5 sq.

	Vultee
		RA-31 (Model V-72) (Vultee, Northrop) 1941 = Export model; ff (as prototype V-85): 3/30/41 (p: Vance Breese) — produced with twin tails, but pilot Vance Breese refused to fly after finding dangerous tendencies during taxi tests, and it was quickly modified with a single tail — ff (as Vengeance I): 11/30/41 (p: Moye Stephens).
		More popularly among the troops as "Vibrator," for its stall buffeting, and unpopularly as "Widow Maker" (a title shared with several other warplanes), undeservedly as there were no recorded in-flight structural failures — accidents were most often the result of pilot error and the Valiant's unforgiving personality with a heavy hand on its control stick.

		The Vultee XP-54 "Swoose Goose" fits in well Planet Models' usual subject theme.
		The XP-54 was an experimental single-engined pusher-type, twin boomed all metal, gull-winged monoplane designed to be employed by the USAAF as a fast interceptor using an experimental Pratt and WhitneyX-1800-4AG engine.

	Name that plane.
		If one goes to the section on the Vultee XP-54, one sees this type of canopy.
		Additionally, though the picture is not that sharp, one can barely see the same insignia that is under the canopy.
		I thought the Vultee Swoose insignia would have given it away much earlier.

		Out of the sea and into the air, I recently ordered a model of the Curtiss XP-55 Ascender.
		This, the Vultee XP-54 Swoose Goose and Northrop XP-56 Black Bullet were responses to a 1939 tender for a new generation of American fighter.
		The Cicciles in Seeds were originally based upon the XP-54, but now I'm leaning more to the XP-55.

	NORTHROP'S ROACH DRY LAKE SITE
		The Northrop XP-56 was the first USAAF fighter aircraft to be built by "Northrop III".
		The Northrop XP-56, like the Bell XP-52, the Vultee XP-54, and the Curtiss XP-55, was evolved as a response to Circular Proposal R-40C, which was issued on November 27, 1939.
		It called for a fighter that would be much more effective than any extant--with a top speed, rate of climb, maneuverability, armament, and pilot visibility, all of which would be far superior to those of any existing fighter.
