XP72 w/ contra rotating props

Wed Aug 27, 2008 10:10 pm

Some time back there were some posts about the XP-72 Superbolt. I've seen the pix of the one with the four blade but does anyone have a photo of the XP-72 with the contra rotating props?

Also, recently, there was a photo posted of a Corsair with the contra props. Does anyone have info on what props were on that a/c or any info on the gear drive or hub. I showed the photo and was asked questions I couldnt' answer.

Thanks

That first one is the XP-62. One of Curtiss' dead-end attempts to sqeeze more life out of the basic P-40 platform.
