This is one of my two favorite expimental aircraft developed by US during World War II and I am bring alot of information here where people will discuss about this aircraft, along with my another thread which icontains alot of information about XP-58 Chain Lighting.

However, I will be posting all data and information here and if any of you have more information about this aircraft, please feel free to bring them here, and same thing for my XP-58 thread at viewtopic.php?t=7484 and I appericate it.

Here is data from my allied expimental and 'what if' aircraft request library:

Absolutely stunning plane! Would love to see it graze our virtual skies (6 37mm cannons ripping up the poor sod in front of me ).

I would love this aircraft to be in game. Would make a good addition. After all we do lack Ally prototype aircraft!

I found a picture and I thought XP-67 Bat (Moonbat) fans would like this:



And here is next pictures I found from my collections found from different websites a long time ago.

Cool! Didn't Gibbage do a model of this?

That's a pretty memorable plane

[Jg3_Hartmann]

Looks....interesting but also nice

And on the last picture where you see it from behind it looks a bit like that thing from Star Wars EP1 with which Queen Amidala is carried around...^^

Thanks for the blueprints. :twisted:

I'll be doing this for SoW, as i decided to be master of my own work instead of relying on others to do important parts of the planes.... the only problem is textures, i don't know jack s**t about it.

And my philosophy will be "quality above all else".

Let me clarify a few points on the would be P-67A-1MD.

First off, the original engine failed. There was a plan to replace the engines with either a Packard V-1650 or an Allison V-1710 engine with two-stage supercharger in front of each engine nacelle and an GE I-20 turbojet or a Westinghouse 9.5" turbojet in the rear of the nacelle. Doing so would have allowed the Bat to go into instant production and have a Sea Level speed well in excess of 500mph according to estimates. With the maneuverability changes made after the first test flight and with those that would have been made assuming this project got going, it should have been able to match the P-51H on equal terms. Then, it would have served as a long-range and high-speed escort fighter instead of an interceptor or ground attack fighter. In such a case, the gun selection would have been narrowed to 6 or 8x.50cal machine guns. With all that, it would have been able to escort B-17's or B-29's all the way to their targets and take down any Me 262's or J7W2's along the way.
