Revell 04970 1/72 BAE Hawk T.1 Plastic Model Kit

The Curtis XP-55 was a prototype fighter aircraft made by Curtis-Wright for the US Army Air Force in the 1940's. 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.

In 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.

The first production design in the series was the C.30, an autogyro radial engine with a 37-foot (11.3 m) three-bladed rotor mounted on a stern-tilted tripod, with the control column extending to the rear of both cockpits. The engine was the five-cylinder 105 hp (78 kW) Armstrong Siddeley Genet Major used in the C.19 series. The rear of the tailplane had an inverted wing section to counterbalance the cylinder axis torque produced by the propeller.

The wide-angle landing gear had a pair of simple, wire-braced legs and a small tail wheel was fitted. This model took off in April 1933. It was followed by four improved machines designated C.30P (P here for pre-production), which differed by a quadrangular pyramidal rotor mount and a reinforced undercarriage with three struts on each side. The C.30P used a more powerful (140 hp, 104 kW) seven-cylinder Armstrong Siddeley Genet Major IA radial engine.
