<description>Kugisho MXY-6 Test-bed of the Kyushu J7W Shinden. In 1943, the IJN issued an 18-shi specification for a new interceptor. Kyushu submitted a design with canard foreplanes, the J7W Shinden. Despite some opposition to the design, the IJN was intrigued enough to accept the proposal. However, the design had to show promise and the canard configuration needed to be proven before the IJN would authorise further development. Therefore, Kyushu designed a glider based on their Shinden concept as a mean to test the canard properties and handling. Kugisho was commissioned to build three gliders which were desigated MXY-6. The MXY-6s were completed by the fall of 1943. Flight trials got under way soon thereafter. The MXY-6 was found to have good handling characteristics which provided verification to the concept of the J7W. The validation of the canard design provided the needed proof of the concept and such the IJN instructed Kyushu to proceed with the J7W Shinden.. Price:&amp;pound;67.99</description>

<description>Douglas XB-19 / XB-19A Hemi-sphere Defender. Also includes BONUS kits of the Tucker XP-57, Bell XP-59A Airacomet and Curtiss XP-60C. In 1935, the USAAC launched a top secret project for a super long-range &#039;Project-D&#039; bomber. The Army issued contracts for preliminary design to two aircraft companies, which were designated as Douglas XBLR-2 and Sikorsky XBLR-3. In 1936, the mockups of two designs were inspected. The Douglas proposal was chosen, and the Sikorsky contract was cancelled. As the designation BLR was abolished, the XBLR-2 was redesignated XB-19. The progress of the prototype was slow due to the shortage of funds from the USAAC. The Douglas recommended to cancel the project. In 1940, the Army removed the XB-19 from secret project list and announced it to the public that it was a new bomber for American defense. The XB-19 finally completed and made its first flight in 1941. After Pearl harbor attack, the XB-19 was painted in camouflage schemes and moved to Wright field for avoiding any Japanese raid. Due to the Wright engine problems, the XB-19 was modified with four Allison engines, and was redesignated XB-19A. It began carrying cargo during war time. By the end of war, further development of XB-19 was deemed uneconomical and it was scrapped in 1949.. Price:&amp;pound;117.99</description>

<description>Convair XP5Y-1 Tradewind Includes bonus kits of the Convair XF2Y-1 Sea Dart, Douglas F3D-2 Skyknight, Douglas XA2D-1 Skyshark. In 1944, the U.S. Navy asked the industries to enter a design competition for a 105,000 pound patrol boat powered by four radials. At the end of the war, two Blohm-und-Voss Bv.222 flying boats were captured by U.S. forces. Convair acquired one for evaluation at Naval Air Station, the intensive studies leading to the hull design of their Model 117. In early 1946, Convair received a requirement from the U.S. Navy for a large flying-boat using the new laminar flow wing and the developing turboprop technology. They submitted the Model 117, and was awarded a contract for two prototypes, designated XP5Y-1 Tradewind. The first aircraft first flew in 1950 at San Diego. It set a turboprop endurance record of 8 hours 6 minutes. The second prototype was never flown and the decision was made to continue testing the first aircraft until all engines on order were depleted. However, before this happened, the first aircraft crashed in 1953. The Navy decided not to proceed with the patrol boat version but directed that the design should be developed into a passenger and cargo aircraft. The Tradewind program was redesignated R3Y-1..

<description>Martin-Boeing XMS-1. Original Dyna-Soar configuration. In 1945, millions of German military documents were confiscated by USAAF. One of the concept was the Sanger aerospace bomber. During post-war years, Bell was selected for further studies on rocket-bomber which named BoMi. In 1956, the USAF channeled Bell&#039;s development to a reconnaissance, bombardment vehicle. A competition for a prototype was opened. In 1959, Boeing won the competition, and was contracted for the system contractor, Martin as responsibility for the booster airframe. The project designated XMS-1 (Experimental Manned Spacecraft), the name Dyna-Soar (Dynamic Soaring) also became official. The program was structured in 3-steps. Step-1 was a manned glider that propelled by Titan I or II booster, step-2 was a manned orbital flight and step-3 was a weapon system research. In 1961, plans were changed to develop a vehicle capable of exploring man&#039;s military functions in space, that were to adapt the glider to a expensive Titan IIIC booster. Although the mock-up was inspected and accepted, the whole program was cancelled by Secretary of Defense in 1963.. Price:&amp;pound;97.99</description>

<description>VFW-Fokker VAK-191B German vector thrust VTOL. In 1962, the West German government launched an requirement for the new ground attack fighter to replace the Fiat G.91. In the meantime NATO had launched a program for VTOL combat aircrafts. The Germans decided to work on the second VTOL fighter. After consideration of various options, the effort focused on the Focke-Wulf Fw.1262 design. This was further developed in a partnership of VFW and Fiat to became VAK-191, a nuclear strike attacker. In 1966, NATO having lost interest in the VTOL aircrafts development. By that time, Fiat withdrew the program. The VAK-191B became a technology demonstrator. It had been planned that six prototypes of the VAK-191 should be built, but only three were actually completed. The first hovering flight was made in September 1971. The first transition from vertical flight to horizontal and vice versa was achieved in October 1972. The prototypes were used to test some of the concepts in what was to become the Panavia Tornado programme, including &#039;fly-by-wire&#039; technology.. Price:&amp;pound;73.80</description>

<description>Budd C-93/RB-1 Conestoga. In 1941, the U.S. War Department required for a twin-engine transport comparable in performance to the Douglas C-47, to be constructed of &quot;non-strategic materials&quot;. At the time, U.S. government feared that the thousands of new aircraft needed for the war effort might create shortages of aluminum alloys. Sprang from this requirement, the Curtiss C-76 and Fairchild C-82 were to be constructed of wood. A third respondent, Budd, proposed to design an aircraft made of stainless steel. The U.S. Navy accepted the proposal and placed an order for 200, to be designated RB-1. The U.S. Army Air Forces followed with an order for 600, designated C-93. The RB-1/C-93 prototype first flew in October 1943. The aircraft demonstrated greater than expected fuel consumption and was relatively underpowered. By late 1943, other more conventional cargo aircraft were being produced in large numbers. This caused the Army to cancel its order for the C-93 and the Navy to reduce its RB-1 order from 200 to 25, of which 17 were delivered in March 1944.. Price:&amp;pound;98.69</description>

<description>Fairchild C-82A Packet World&#039;s first twin-boom transport aircraft. During outbreak of War World II, the mainstay of cargo freight operations in USAAF was catered by the C-47 Dakota, C-46 Commando and the C-54 Skymaster but they were built as pre-war civil passenger aircraft, not as dedicated cargo aircraft. In 1941, USAAF issued requirement for a large capacity cargo transport aircraft. Fairchild responded with a submission by their Model 78, and Army representatives were impressed with the design. In 1942 Fairchild received contract to build two prototypes designated as the XC-82, competing for the same contract was the Budd RB-1 Conestoga , Curtiss-Wright YC-76 Caravan and Waco YC-62. The first Fairchild XC-82 took to the air in 1944. Further flight tests were so positive that the Army issued Fairchild contract for 100 production C-82A. In 1947, Fairchild developed an improved Packet, which had more powerful engines, increased cargo and weight capacity and a relocated flight deck. The resulting aircraft became the C-119. Due to its obsolescence, the Air Force removed the C-82 from its inventory in 1954. Price:&amp;pound;147.99</description>

<description>Martin M-130 China Clipper. U.S. Navy transport for the Manhattan Project. In early 1930s, Pan Am requested for a flying boat with capability that could fly across the ocean. Martin&#039;s bid of Model-130 was successful. In 1934, three M-130 were built as Martin Ocean Transports, but to the public thay were all referred as the China Clipper. On November 1935, the China Clipper flew the first trans-Pacific airmail route. Their range and capacity made them prime candidates to fulfill the over ocean hauling needs of the military during World War II. Beginning in 1942, the two remaining planes were pressed into transport roles for the United States Navy, but not given a Naval designation and was maintained their &#039;civilian&#039; status so that they could continue to fly into neutral ports with secret missions for Allied spies and techicians. The most special mission was to fly shipments out of Africa with the uranium needed for the highly top secret Atomic bomb development, the &#039;Manhattan Project&#039;. The Philippine Clipper crashed in San Francisco in 1943, and the final China Clipper broke up and sank in Trinidad Tobago in 1945.. Price:&amp;pound;167.99</description>

<description>Convair XB-46. Includes BONUS kits of the North-American B-45A Panavia Tornado, Northrop F-89B Scorpion and Ryan XV-5A Vertifan. In 1944, with the success of the German jet bomber Arado Ar-234, U.S. war department was aware of aviation advance in the enemy. So a requirement for a new design of the jet bomber which tactical radius could cover 1000-miles was issued. Convair (Consolidated Vultee Aircraft) submitted the Model 109 mockup. It was approved and awarded contract for three prototypes which designated XB-46. Other designs in the competition included the North-American XB-45, the Boeing XB-47 and the Martin XB-48. In fall of 1945, the funds for two XB-46 prototypes was transferred to Convair&#039;s other jet attacker project, the XA-44 while the first XB-46 was nearing completion. In August 1946, the B-45 was endorsed to be the immediate production as the threat from Soviet was rising, and the XB-46 was permitted for test purpose. In 1947, first flight was made and accepted by the Air Force but the program was cancelled in the same year. Further flight tests were occurred until 1949.. Price:&amp;pound;77.99</description>

<description>Junkers EF-132 . Final jet bomber captured by Russian. Includes BONUS kits of the Lippisch Li.P12 Entwurf III, Focke-Wulf P.0310251-1006 Victoria tail, Messerschmitt Me.P1106 and Heinkel WESPE. In the autumn of 1944 Reichsmarschall Goring instructed the Junkers and Messerschmitt works to design and produce the very long-range bombers which would be capable of delivering 4000kg bomb load, at high speeds and over extreme distances, onto a target and then returning safety. The object of the exercise was to attack distant convoys and to mount strategic air strikes against the USA and the Soviet Union. In the meantime Junkers were working on the EF-132 design which was improved upon their Junkers Ju-287 by incorporating a new fuselage and new sweep-wing. A wind-tunnel model was tested in early 1945, and a full-scale wooden mockup was also built. The development stage had progressed far when the Red Army reached the Junker facility and took possession of the Junkers Ju-287, EF-131 and EF-132 designs. In 1946, the whole complex and the German engineers were transferred to OKB-1 to continue development of the EF-131 and EF-132. An unpowered example was constructed to gather additional data, but only slow progress was made before the project was terminated in 1948.. Price:&amp;pound;87.99</description>

<description>Republic XF-12 Rainbow. In 1943, USAAF confronted with the problem of photographic information which collecting from the Pacific theatre while U.S. did not had close airfield in Pacific to be able to use photo-reconnaissance aircraft. So USAAF issued a request for a new long-range / high altitude reconnaissance airplane. In March 1944, Republic proposed to modify its civil model, RC-2 to install with the photographic equipments. The proposal was accepted and Republic was received order for two prototypes, designated XF-12 Rainbow. The other design which entered the competition was the Hughes XF-11. To take over the temporarily duties, USAAF converted some Boeing B-29A Superfortress with cameras to became F-13. With the end of the war, the designation XF-12 (F stand for Foto) was changed to XR-12 (R for Reconn.), construction of two prototypes were continued. The first XR-12 made its first flight in February 1947. It showed all the expected performances and became the fastest four piston-engined airplane at the time. The two XR-12s were conceived to demonstrate ultimate photo capabilities until 1948 when USAF cancelled the program as the Boeing RB-29A Superfortress and RB-50 were selected into the service..

<description>Columbia XJL-1 flying boat. In June 1939, Grumman intended to update their J2F Duck biplane to an all-metal monoplane as a replacement for the United States Navy. The aircraft was assigned the G-42. However due to increased production pressures for other Grumman fighter aircraft, the project of prototype and test was turned over to the Columbia Aircraft Company which was already under a production contract for J2F-6 Ducks. Three prototypes, XJL-1 were finished in 1946 and accepted by the Navy 1n October 1947. One was used for destructive strength testing and two for flight. The aircraft did not live up to the expectations of the Navy with repeated structural failures of various parts reported during testing. Testing was abandoned in 1948 and the aircraft were stricken from the Navy&#039;s inventory in 1949.. Price:&amp;pound;77.99</description>

<description>Nakajima G10N1 Fukagu. Also includes BONUS kits of the Mansyu Ki-98, Kawanishi Baika, Mizuno Shinryu. WAS Â£87.99. NOW BEING CLEARED!! SAVE 1/3RD!!! In 1943, as the war situation worsened, Nakajima sought to develop a very long-range, super heavy bomber which could be able to carry 11000 lbs bomb load into U.S. air-field, where they could mount bombing raids against targets along America&#039;s western seaboard. The project in-house named &#039;Z-bomber&#039;. The project impressed the Japanese Army and Navy. With the supports from military, Nakajima finalized the specification of the bomber, designated G10N1 Fugaku. Initially, Nakajima planned to use the powerful Nakajima Ha-44 36-cylinder radial engine, mounting three per wing, each would reach 5,000hp. However, it was to be seen that the Ha-44 was too complex, and it would not be available in any reliable form. As the Z-project could not wait for them to be ready, six Mitsubishi Ha-50 radials would have to be used instead. In February 1944, after U.S. Marines captured Iwo Jima, Nakajima was ordered to stop any development of bomber, that would not interfered with fighter plane production. In 1979, an Ha-50 engine was found and unearthed during expansion of Tokyo Haneda airport, and now it is on display at the Narita Aerospace museum.. Price:&amp;pound;58.68</description>

<description>Convair XP-81 In 1943, USAAF issued a specification for a long-range jet powered fighter which could be flight across the Pacific to escort bombers to Japan. Consolidated Vultee Aircraft (Convair) responded with the new design which was powered by a combination of the turboprop and jet engine units, while Navy was also working on the same theory with the Curtiss XF15C-1 and the Ryan FR-1. The configuration was a nose mounted turboprop engine used for cruising flight to solve high fuel consumption problem, and a tail mounted jet engine used for high speed combat. In 1944, two prototypes were ordered and designated XP-81. First flight was on February 1945, the performance from the under-powered turboprop engine was disappointing. After Guam and Saipan islands were captured, the need for a long-range fighter had eliminated. The XP-81 development was slowing down and the entire program was terminated in 1947..

<description>Great Lakes XSG-1 Unorthodox biplane to replace the O2U Corsair. In early 1930&#039;s, the U.S. Navy issued requirement for a small scout amphibian as a replacement of the conventional floatplanes. Three companies, Great Lakes, Loening and Sikorsky received contacts from BuAer under a specification calling for a single-engine amphibian stressed for catapult launches and with wing floated, small enough to fit into the hanger space aboard Navy cruisers. In 1932, Great Lakes submitted a design present a unorthodox biplane configuration with a single large pontoon mounted below the lower wing. A single built prototype, designated the XSG-1, was delivered to Naval Air Station Anacostia for trials in 1933. Development quickly ended when trials revealed that the aircraft was incapable of reaching the speeds required by the Navy, further development was cancelled.. Price:&amp;pound;47.99</description>

<description>Yakovlev Yak-24 Horse. In 1965, the U.S. Army launched the Utility Tactical Transport Aircraft System (UTTAS) program. The initial specification called for an aircraft able to carry a crew of three and eleven troops with the main goal of replacing the Bell UH-1 Huey. Requests for proposals were issued to the industries in 1972. All the designs proposed in response to the specification were required to use two G.E. turbo-shaft engines and wheeled landing gear. Bell , Boeing and Sikorsky submitted proposals. The Boeing model 237 and Sikorsky S-70 were selected to proceed to prototype construction as the YUH-61 and YUH-60. The Boeing YUH-61 made its maiden flight in 1974. It was Boeing&#039;s first design with a single main rotor. All the three YHU-61A prototypes were delivered to the Army in 1976. A UTTAS competitive evaluation was conducted over the next eight months, with finally the Sikorsky S-70 was declared the winner, as Sikorsky&#039;s design was less complex than Boeing&#039;s. The S-70 became the Sikorsky HH-60 Black Hawk.. Price:&amp;pound;67.99</description>

<description>Boeing XCH-62 HLH Heavy lift helicopter program. Includes BONUS aircraft of the Sikorsky CH-54A Skycrane, Fairchild VZ-5 Fledgling and Cessna YH-41 Seneca. In 1967, the Soviet Mil V-12 helicopter made its first lift-off successfully. The U.S. military had an urge to match or top this heavy-lift helicopter. In early 1970, a joint Army and Navy working committee was formed to study the development of a heavy lift helicopter. The requirement for a 22-ton payload class HLH was issued. Boeing proposed the tandem-rotor Model 301 that was about twice size of the Chinook. Other design included in the competition was the Sikorsky S-73. In 1973, a contract was awarded to Boeing for the construction of one prototype, designated XCH-62. In 1975, the XCH-62 prototype had been 90% complete, being readied for a planned initial flight the next year, but Congress declined to provide further funding. The incomplete XCH-62 program was terminated. In 1983, the Army and NASA proposed collaboration to finish the aircraft for experimental flights but Congress again refused to fund the project. The XCH-62 remained in storage until 1987 when it was decided that it should be placed in the U.S. Army Aviation Museum at Fort Rucker, Alabama.. Price:&amp;pound;87.99</description>
