Hence, the British Purchasing Commission (headed by Sir Henry Self) approached NAA to build Curtiss P-40 fighters under license for the RAF. The only aircraft that came close was the Curtiss P-40 Tomahawk, however the Curtiss-Wright production line was already running at capacity to satisfy existing orders.

This allows air to be drawn through the top of the fan and expelled out through the bottom in the form of downward thrust. However, the Cavorite X7 uses a different approach. According to the company itself, this significant increase in passenger payload makes the economics of the Cavorite X7 favorable over its competitors.

More air molecules in engine cylinders allow the engine to produce more power; more air molecules moving across the propellor blades and wings means more efficient thrust and lift. I also departed with the minimum amount of fuel I was comfortable with (airlines use this strategy to increase performance and/or increase payload capacity).

Can you fly a zero-thrust, single-engine approach to minimums today? I have one airplane in my hangar that can only carry 500 pounds of payload with the fuel tanks topped off—that’s it, if I’m going to respect the max-takeoff-weight limit, and I will. That optimistic outlook doesn’t apply to pilots with rusty skills.

But it was apparent the smallest Grumman flying boat was too small and full of quirks—the cabin door won’t open if the flaps are down, for example—to justify something approaching a direct copy. The Prototype Ben and Ross’s vision in 1990 was a fiberglass Widgeon. lb/sq ft Power loading 10.32
