Bristol Aeronautical Corporation XLRQ-1 11652

Bristol Aeronautical Corporation XLRQ-1 11652, the 2nd prototype amphibious assault transport glider at the Naval Air Material Centre (NAMC) Philadelphia. Four prototypes were ordered: 11651 to 11654, but 11653 and 11654 were cancelled. Background: In April 1941 Captain Marc A. Mitscher, then the Assistant Chief of the Bureau of Naval Aeronautics, directed the production of a personnel and equipment carrying glider for the Navy. Five amphibious glider Types were contracted for: The Bristol XLRQ-1 (single fuselage 12-seat), Bristol XLR2Q-1 (twin fuselage 24-seat), Allied XLRA-1 and AGA XLRG-1 and Snead XLRH-1. Only the XLRQ-1, XLRA-1 and a 40% scale flying model of the AGA XLRG-1 were Built. Flight tests were satisfactory but the requirement and feasibility of using them in the Pacific theatre evaporated, so development was abandoned in 1943. Date: circa 1943
