The Waco CG-15 was an American military glider, which was developed from the CG-4. Although outwardly similar to its predecessor and carrying the same number of passengers, a number of changes in the design, including shortened wings and a more streamlined nose enabled it to travel faster. 1,000 were ordered and 473 were delivered before production ceased. Two were transferred to the Navy for testing as the XLR2W-1. One unit was converted into an XPG-3 powered glider which used two Jacobs R-755-9 radial engines. ==Variants== ;XCG-15:Prototype converted from a CG-4A, one conversion. ;XCG-15A:New-build prototypes, two built. ;CG-15A:Production variant, redesignated G-15A in 1948, 427 built. ;PG-3:One XCG-15A fitted with two R-755-9 engines, redesignated G-3A in 1948. ;XLR2W-1:Two CG-15As transferred to the United States Navy. ;G-3A:PG-3 redesignated in 1948. ;G-15A:CG-15A redesignated in 1948. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Waco CG-15」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
