Engineering Division TP-1 : ウィキペディア英語版 | Engineering Division TP-1 __NOTOC__
The Engineering Division TP-1 was a two-seat biplane fighter designed by Alfred V. Verville and Virginius E. Clark at the United States Army Air Corps Engineering Division.〔 A second aircraft was completed as an observation biplane and designated the Engineering Division XCO-5.〔〔 ==Development== The prototype TP-1 was built as the XTP-1 and tested at McCook Field in 1923. A biplane, the upper wing had a smaller span and narrower chord than the lower wing.〔 The XTP-1 was armed with five machine guns and fitted with a Liberty 12 engine.〔 A second prototype was completed as an observation/reconnaissance aircraft with the designation XCO-5.〔 The XCO5 needed a high-lift wing suitable for high-altitude work. New wings were prepared. The aerofoil was Joukowsky StAe-27A, a heavily cambered wingshape with a thick leading edge. The upper and lower wings had a pronounced stagger, with a total wing area of 600 ft2. As well as lining and insulating the cockpit, heat was taken from the engine exhaust. A cover over the top of the cockpit kept the heat in; a clear panel in the cover allowed the pilot to see his instruments.〔''Flight'' p68〕
