Summary
[edit]DescriptionGrumman XF6F-2 Hellcat.jpg | A U.S. Navy Grumman XF6F-2 Hellcat fighter in 1943. The F6F-2 was a turbo-charged version that was part of the original F6F contract. The XF6F-2 first flew in 1943 and had a Wright R-2600-6 engine combined with a Birmann turbo-supercharger. As the performance was not satisfactory, the engine was replaced by a Pratt & Whitney R-2800-21. The re-engined XF6F-2 first flew on 7 January 1944, but the performance was still not much improved. The project was abandoned and the XF6F-2 was rebuilt as a F6F-3. |
