The Curtiss-Wright XF15C-1 stands as a remarkable testament to the innovative spirit of early jet aviation, designed during a transformative era when propeller-driven fighters were giving way to the jet age. Developed for the United States Navy in the mid-1940s, this prototype was a bold attempt to blend the reliability of piston engines with the cutting-edge performance of jet propulsion. The XF15C-1 was equipped with a Pratt & Whitney R-2800 radial engine and a Westinghouse 19XB jet engine, aiming to deliver unparalleled speed and versatility. Although it never entered mass production, the XF15C-1 played a crucial role in advancing naval aviation technology, paving the way for future generations of jet fighters. Its unique dual-powerplant configuration and its contribution to the evolution of aircraft design make it a fascinating chapter in the history of military aviation.
