FS2004 Curtiss XP-55 “Ascender”
FS2004 Curtiss XP-55 “Ascender”. This radical “tail” first canard was another plane which developed in response to the solicitation for advanced and unconventional aircraft proposals by the Air Corp. It was essentially a flying wing in a pusher configuration powered by the V-1710-95(F23R). The first of three prototypes flew in 1943, the performance achieved being 390 mph at 19,300 ft with a service ceiling of 34,600 ft. The advances by conventional aircraft and the development of the turbojet, along with the demands of high-priority production programs led to no interest in further development of the AscenderCreated by: Jeffrey Nissen (model, textures, panel mods, flight dynamics)Not tested in FSX but it should work. 10.8MB
