well almost since the start of the Aircraft of the Week you have voted for the XP-67 Moonbat so here you go.
McDonnell XP-67
The XP-67 project started out as an unconventional design submitted under the 1939 Army Air Corps Proposal R-40C which resulted in the XP-54, XP-55 and XP-56 designs also.
After two re-designs ordered by the AAF, McDonnell was awarded a construction contract for two aircraft on 22 May 1941. The first aircraft (S/N 42-11677) was completed in December 1943 and featured a sleek aerodynamic profile. The exhaust gases from the turbo-supercharged Continental engines were used as a jet-assist to increase performance; however, the rated horsepower of the “Hyper” engines was not achieved and the aircraft fell short of performance estimates.
The aircraft was destroyed in a fire on 6 September 1944 and the project was canceled before the second aircraft was built.
