Fleetwings BQ-1
The Fleetwings BQ-1 was an early expendable unmanned aerial vehicle — referred to at the time as an "assault drone" — developed by Fleetwings during the Second World War for use by the United States Army Air Forces. Only a single example of the type was built, the program being cancelled following the crash of the prototype on its first flight.
==Development==
Development of the BQ-1 began on July 10, 1942, under a program for the development of "aerial torpedoes" - unmanned aircraft carrying internal bombs - that had been instigated in March of that year. Fleetwings was contracted to build a single XBQ-1 assault drone,〔Werrell 1985, p.30.〕 powered by two Franklin O-405-7 opposed piston engines, and fitted with a fixed landing gear in tricycle configuration. The aircraft was optionally piloted; a single-seat cockpit was installed for ferry and training flights; a fairing would replace the cockpit canopy on operational missions.〔Parsch 2005〕 The BQ-1 was intended to carry a warhead over a range of at ; the aircraft would be destroyed in the act of striking the target.〔 A single BQ-2 was to be constructed as well under the same contract.〔
