Summary edit
| Description | The single U.S. Navy Naval Aircraft Factory XN3N-2 Canary or Yellow Peril (BuNo 0265) training biplane in flight. Various handling and control problems of the N3N-1 were tried to correct with the XN3N-2 prototype which was ordered in October 1935. This aircraft was powered by the 240 hp (179 kW) Wright R-760-96 engine. In order to reduce the tail heaviness, the aircraft was equipped with new engine mounts and a longer engine cowling, some equipment was also moved forward. The XN3N-2 made its first flight at the NAF Mustin Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (USA), on 11 August 1936. However, it was found that this aircraft did not adequately improve performance. Therefore, the N3N-1 BuNo 0020 was converted into the XN3N-3 prototype, which went into production. |
