Description
Although only three prototypes of the Curtiss XP-55 Ascender were built, this view depicts a conceptual operational USAAF P-55 Assender. The swept-wing/forward canard, and pusher-propeller design of the Curtiss XP-55 is reminiscent of the Burt Rutan VariEze configuration first flown decades later in May 1975. The XP-55 made its first flight on July 19, 1943, which was two years prior to the U.S. obtaining captured German swept-wing technology.
