Le Douglas A2D Skyshark était un avion d'attaque américain à turbopropulseur construit par la Douglas Aircraft Company pour l'US Navy. Il s'agissait essentiellement d'une version évoluée à turbopropulseur et hélices contrarotatives de l' A-1 Skyraider, portant initialement la désignation d' AD-3 Skyraider. Contrairement au moteur à pistons de son géniteur, le turbopropulseur Allison. The Douglas A2D Skyshark was a turboprop-powered attack aircraft built by the Douglas Aircraft Company for the United States Navy Le Douglas A2D Skyshark fut la seule tentative réelle de la part du constructeur de concevoir un avion d'arme mû par un turbopropulseur. Cet avion ne fut pas totalement un échec puisque la turbine XT-40 servit de base à la turbine T-56 du Lockheed C-130 Hercules.

Le Douglas XA2D Skyshark est un avion d'attaque monoplace, équipé d'un turbopropulseur actionnant deux hélices tripales contrarotatives, muni d'ailes basses cantilevers, d'un empennage conventionnel et d'un train d'atterrissage classique escamotable. Suite à la demande faite le 25 juin 1945 par le Bureau of Aeronautics (BuAer) américain, le constructeur aéronautique Douglas. A2D Skyshark aircraft, produced by Douglas, were the fastest single engine turboprops in the world with a top speed in excess of 500 mph. The A2D Skyshark was intended as a fast ground attack and troop support aircraft. In 1945 Douglas was asked by the Navy to explore the possibility of producing a turboprop powered carrier based attack aircraft. It was to use the 5,100 shp Allison twin axial.

The Douglas A2D Skyshark evolved from the AD (A-1) Skyraider. The airframe was enlarged to accept an allison XT40-A-2 turbo-prop engine. The 5,100 shaft-horsepower XT40 was composed of a pair of Allison T-38s driving contra-rotating propellers through a common gearbox. Two prototype and ten.

A2D Skyshark at 1/8th scale. I had settled on my next build before leaving for SEFF. It was sort of a natural progression. I have a large Helldiver, I've built a couple of SBDs in the past, and had just finished my last build, the A-1H Skyraider. By natural progression, I mean these all are a long line of Douglas designs in order. Well, sort of, there was a little known BTD Destroyer in. The Douglas A2D Skyshark grew out of a post-World War 2 United States Navy (USN) need for a prop-driven carrier-based strike aircraft offering good operational range with comparable performance to early-generation turbojet-powered navy types. The A2D was essentially an offshoot of Douglas' classic AD Skyraider of Vietnam War (1955-1975) fame which was already enjoying success in service.
A2D Skyshark was designed as a successor of the AD Skyraider with greater performance of the turbine engine. The development started in June 1945. The first flight was made on 26th May 1950. The US Navy originally ordered 345 Skysharks, but the Allison XT40 turbine engine and its contra rotating gear box made a number of problems and caused serious accidents including a fatal one. Due to the. History learns us that the turboprop successor of the Skyraider, the A2D Skyshark, was far from a success and that the AD-1 was finally replaced by another Douglas product that would gain much more fame: the jet-powered A4D Skyhawk! This is the story of the unsuccessful Skyshark, a type that failed because it lacked a reliable engine. Artwork of the Skyraider released by Douglas as PR. La perte du prototype du Skyshark laissait George Jansen sans avion pour les essais en vol. En attendant la fin de l'assemblage du deuxième avion, il s'occupa en pilotant le Boeing P2B-1S (un B-29 de la Navy) pour les vols records de Bill Bridgeman en D-558-2. Le deuxième prototype du Skyshark (BuAer 122989) était presque complet au moment de l'accident du prototype n°1 et le premier.

Douglas A2D-1 Skyshark Rareplane vacuform model kit 1/72: The Douglas A2D Skyshark was an American single-seat single turboprop powered attack aircraft developed during the 1940s and 1950s. In 1945 the U.S. Navy was seeking an alternative to jets with high fuel consumption and asked Douglas Aircraft to develop a turbine-powered propeller aircraft. Engine issues caused the cancellation of three. The Anigrand A2D Skyshark is a good choice kit for a first time resin model builder. It is simple enough to build and paint while providing good experience with resin (which is perfect for someone like me who has built only two resin kits including this one.) Those who like more detail won't be happy with the simple details and will have to look at using whatever few 1/72 Skyraider.
The sole surviving A2D-1 Skyshark on display in 2014 While it resembled the AD Skyraider, the A2D was different in a number of unseen ways. The 5,100-equivalent shaft horsepower (3,800 kW) Allison XT-40-A2 had more than double the horsepower of the Skyraider's R-3350. The XT40 installation on the Skyshark used contra-rotating propellers to harness all the available power. Wing root thickness. This is part of a review.

There was certainly a family resemblance to the Skyraider from which the Skyshark was developed, but the Allison XT-40-A2 engine in the A2D, which consisted of two T38 engines linked to a common gearbox, produced more than twice the horsepower of the R-3350 in the Able Dog. The dual 14 foot contra-rotating propellers were required to handle all the additional horsepower and turn it into thrust. Douglas A2D Skyshark 1950: CARRIER-BORNE ATTACKER: Virtual Aircraft Museum / USA / Douglas : The turboprop engine offered to provide the power that early jets lacked. However, no manufacturer really achieved a successful turboprop combat aircraft before jet engines improved. A notable failure was the Skyshark, which was a satisfactory airframe design that suffered terribly from problems with.

Douglas A2D-1 Skyshark; Skyshark model in 1/72 scale : The Skyshark was a project of Douglas in 1950 to design a fast aircraft with a counter rotating propeller and a jet engine. The aircraft flew but the gearbox caused problems. Meanwhile, full jet aircraft began to emerge so the Skyshark project was cancelled. The kit is from Rareplanes and it is a vacu-form kit with a number of metal. The Douglas A2D Skyshark was a turboprop-powered attack aircraft built by the Douglas Aircraft Company for the United States Navy. (en) Die Douglas A2D Skyshark war ein Jagdbomber des US-amerikanischen Unternehmens Douglas Aircraft Company, der 1945 bis 1952 für die United States Navy entwickelt wurde, aber nach Problemen mit dem Triebwerk nie in Dienst gestellt wurde A2D Skyshark. It was dubbed later in life as Son of Spad, Spad being the popular nickname for the AD/A-1 Skyraider. The aircraft produced an unprecedented amount of power, vibration and noise which along with the troublesome power plant eventually doomed the project. If the project had been successful this would have been the Navys heavy lifter with 22-hard points for hanging ordnance. 99 b.
