Framed Print of Chase XC-123A 47-787
Chase XC-123 A 47-787. The sole XC-123A converted from the second Chase MS-8 - XCG-20 - G-20 prototype assault glider. The addition of 4x 5, 200 lbf General Electric J47-GE-5 turbojet engines in B-47 inner pods, turned the XG-20 into the most powerful motor-glider ever built. Flight testing was successful but the concept was uneconomical due to low fuel capacity, and the poor economy of powering a low-speed glider at high speeds. Once flight testing was completed the aircraft was allocated to Stroukoff Aviation for conversion to the YC-134D, equipped with Boundary Layer Control enlarged fin and tailplane endplates and tandem four wheel main undercarriage. Making this probably the only large aircraft to have been designed as a glider and also flown with piston and Jet power (some sailplanes have also flown with piston engines and jet engines). Mary Evans Picture Library makes available wonderful images created for people to enjoy over the centuries. © The Peter Butt Aviation Collection / Mary Evans Picture Library
