Xp47h

Hello all,
Does anybody please know the whereabouts of accurate drawings of the Xp47H Allison powered prototypes.
TIA

I am not at home, so am going on memory. IIRC the P-47 H engine was not an Allison, but an experimental Chrysler engine. I believe there was a recent US magaziner with an article on this aircraft and a retailed drawing of the engine installation.


Best regards,

Artie Bob

Hi,


An ugly looking thing with pointed nose and razor back, oh its mouth was open below its pointed nose.

42-23297 was one of two.

Later on there was the XP-47J 43-46952, with an almost back to normal look.

Finally the XP-72, a bubble top P47, a more refined version of the XP-47H, this version had its nose intake further back in line with the leadsing edge of the wings.

Yep. Have many published references and drawings, all of which appear incorrect when compared to the photos. Any accurate drawings about?
Thanks,
