– FS2004 Curtiss XP-55 Ascender

FS2004 Curtiss XP-55 Ascender. Developed to meet a 1939 USAAC specification for an interceptor fighter, the XP-55 was an unconventional design. It was a swept wing canard pusher aircraft that lacked a tail. Only three prototypes were produced, with the first taking flight in July 1943. Testing continued through 1944, but due to inherent stability problems and poor low-speed handling characteristics the type was abandoned. A FSDS 3.0 project for 2004 but should work in FSX.
