[edit]

Intended to replace theNorth American T-6 Texan, the XT-30 was designed in 1948 for aUnited States Air Force competition. The design had an 800 hp (600 kW)Wright R-1300 radial mountedamidships behind thecockpit (in the fashion of theP-39),^[1] in a rather squared-off fuselage.^[2] The R-1300 drove a three-bladedpropeller by way of an extension shaft (driveshaft).^[3] The XT-30 design seated pilot and pupil in tandem, under a framed greenhouse canopy^[4] and had a straight low wing.^[5]

Competing against theNorth American T-28 Trojan, the more complex XT-30 was not selected for production and none were built.^[6]
