Algidus Mons The Algidus Mons is the eastern rim of the dormant Alban Volcano in the Alban Hills , about southeast of Rome , Italy . The ridge is traversed by a narrow crevasse called " la Cava d ' Aglio " . It was the site of the ancient Roman Battle of Mons Algidus . " La Via Latina " , a road that was strategically advantageous in the military history of Rome , leads to the Algidus Mons mountain pass . Dionysius of Halicarnassus claimed that a town was founded on the mountain ( Dion . Halic . x . 21 , xi . 3 ) , but this has not been verified by modern scholarship . Although an extensive fortification lines the " Maschio d ' Ariano " ( the hill to the south of the Via Latina ) , this particular structure was entirely medieval , and therefore did not exist during the time period described by Dionysius . However , some historical topographers have mistakenly included it on maps meant to illustrate Italy during the Western Roman Empire .
Curtiss - Wright XF - 87 Blackhawk The Curtiss - Wright XF - 87 Blackhawk ( previously designated the XP - 87 ) was a prototype American all - weather jet fighter interceptor and the company ' s last aircraft project . Designed as a replacement for the World War II - era propeller - driven P - 61 Black Widow night / interceptor aircraft , the XF - 87 lost in government procurement competition to the Northrop F - 89 Scorpion . The loss of the contract was fatal to the company ; the Curtiss - Wright Corporation closed down its aviation division , selling its assets to North American Aviation . Design and development . The aircraft started life as a project for an attack aircraft , designated XA - 43 . When the United States Army Air Forces issued a requirement for a jet - powered all - weather fighter in 1945 , the design was reworked for that request . The XP - 87 was a large mid - wing aircraft with four engines paired in underwing pods , with a mid - mounted tailplane and tricycle undercarriage . Two crew members ( pilot and radio operator ) sat side by side under a single canopy . Armament was to be a nose - mounted , powered turret containing four 20 mm ( 0 . 79 in ) cannon , but this was never fitted to the prototypes . Operational history . The first flight of the XF - 87 Blackhawk was on 1 March 1948 . Although the top speed was slower than expected , the aircraft was otherwise acceptable , and the newly formed ( in September 1947 ) United States Air Force placed orders for 57 F - 87A fighters and 30 RF - 87A reconnaissance aircraft just over a month later . Since the performance problems were due to lack of power , the four Westinghouse XJ34 - WE - 7 turbojets of the prototypes were to be replaced by two General Electric J47 jets in production models . One of the two XF - 87 prototypes was to be converted to the new powerplants for test purposes . At this point , the USAF decided that the Northrop F - 89 Scorpion was a more promising aircraft . The F - 87 contract was cancelled on 10 October 1948 , and both prototypes were scrapped .
