Aircraft designers of the COM
pany reported that the new dive
bomber will now increase the pro-
tective range OF the fleet by an
additional 600 miles. and expressed
the view that wide use of the new
planes would make invasion of
the United States difficult If not
impossible.
While unable to reveal the de-
tails of its armament or perform
ance because of military reasons,
Wright said that the plane incor-
porates unusually heavy arma-
ment. thus achieving greater fire
power than any other single
engine naval plane.
The plane, named the Curtiss
XSB2C-1, carries its bomb load
inside instead of outside the fuse
lage. thus eliminating wind drag

tate storage on shipboard. and are
