Summary
Lockheed Corp. suggested an improved model of supercharge cabin setting and the engine reinforcement to P-38 for American Air Corps in September, 1939. This body caught the ordering from Air Corps, and a name of XP-49 was given. Serial No is 40-3055. I make the first flight on November 11, 1942.
It was a development type of P-38 and was a twin-fuselage plane. The beginning of plan is going to carry Pratt and Whitney X-1800 of the 2,000HP grade and compares the engine of the 1,000HP grade in P-38 of the deployment, and large output reinforcement is accomplished. However, I was careless for adoption without the output being lacking in it in substitute Continental XIV-1430 (1,600HP), and being able to surpass P-38 as a result of examination without being available because development failed in X-1800.
