Vultee V-11
The Vultee V-11 was a military version of Gerard Vultee's single-engine passenger transport V-1A, with which it shared the wing, the tail surfaces and the undercarriage. Designed as an attack bomber, it was a low-wing, all-metal design with an elongated, four-section canopy covering its two tandem-seated crew members. It could carry up to 1,100 lbs. of bombs internally and externally, and was armed with one forward-firing, fixed .30-inch machine gun mounted on each wing and one flexible .30-inch gun operated by the rear crewman. The prototype and the initial batch of production models were powered by a 750 hp Wright SR-1820-F53 Cyclone radial engine driving a two-bladed Hamilton Standard propeller. A second version, the V-11A, got instead a three-bladed airscrew.
