Vought XS2U-1 / XWU-1
![]() Vought XS2U-1 Mock-up
An anti-sub aircraft design as XS2U-1W in competition with the Grumman S2F and was later re-designated as XWU-1 (c.1955). Work began on 25 January 1950 and a contract was awarded for two prototypes with s/ns [133780/133781]. A mock-up was built but, during construction, difficulties were encountered with the folding wings. The contract was cancelled before the aircraft could be completed and USN selected the S2F instead. |
