The fighter was intended to return to the parent aircraft and dock with a trapeze, by means of a retracting hook. There was no landing gear except for emergency skids. It was powered by a Westinghouse J34-WE-7 turbojet, of 3,000 lb. The B-36 was the intended mother ship that would carry as many as three Goblins.Ī tiny, short fuselage was fitted with low/mid-set foldable swept wings, of 21 ft 1.5 in (6.44 m) span. The resulting design was entirely the product of design constraints, which required it to fit into the bomb bay of a B-36 (although it was actually tested under a B-29). Development of two prototypes was ordered in March 1947. This unusual fighter plane McDonnell XF-85 Goblin was designed to meet a USAAF requirement for a single-seat “parasite” escort fighter that could be carried by a large bomber. turbojet: Poet motor: Number of Engines: 2: Typ: Type: Westinghouse J34-WE-36 o tahu 14,01 kN: Westinghouse J34-WE-38, thrust 3600 lb: Objem palivových nádrí: Fuel Tank Capacity: 4172 l 2x 644 l pídavná nádr: 1102 US gal 2x 170 gal drop tank: Výkony: Performance: Maximální rychlost: Maximum Speed: 981.7 km/h v 0 m: 610 mph in.
