Curtiss XP-55 Ascender - Flight Test Accident
As some will know, I've a long-term research interest in the flying characteristics of tailless aircraft.
I've come across a few references to loss of an XP-55 prototype following a stall test in 1943. What I can't find, is any more information than that.
Does anybody have any useful information about what happened, pilot's observations, BurAir wind tunnel results, etc. that might help shed a light on it.
For that matter does anybody have any other information on LOC in tailless aircraft that they're able to share? (Yes, I do know about the YB-49 and the flexwing tumble.)
