FS2002 Curtiss XP-55 The Curtiss XP-55 Ascender was another 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. In addition, the fighter was required to have a low initial cost and had to be easy and inexpensive to maintain. The Army specifically mentioned in R-40C that they would consider aircraft with unconventional configurations. By Mike Wholaver

great plane,flight performance is awesome It s landing gear disappears when it down in certain angles, but hey, flies as if on rails, so that all counts.
