费舍尔P-75鹰的照片库,The 通用汽车/费舍尔P-75鹰 是由通用汽车费舍尔车身部门设计的战斗机。开发始于1942年9月,以响应美国陆军航空队对具有极高爬升率的战斗机的要求,使用当时最强大的液冷发动机艾里逊V-3420。该计划在只有少量原型机和生产飞机完成后被取消,因为它不再需要其原始角色,无法快速部署,并且与已经生产的飞机相比没有显着优势。

The Fisher P-75 Eagle was a fighter aircraft project that aimed to create a high-performance interceptor using existing components from other aircraft. The project was initiated by the Fisher Body Division of General Motors in 1942, in response to a request from the US Army Air Forces for a fighter that could climb rapidly and use the Allison V-3420 engine, a 24-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that was the most powerful at the time. The P-75 Eagle design used the outer wing panels from the P-40 Warhawk, the tail assembly from the A-24 (SBD), and the landing gear from the F4U Corsair. The engine was mounted in the middle of the fuselage, driving contra-rotating propellers through a long shaft. The P-75 Eagle was expected to be a “wonder plane” that could outperform any enemy fighter.
However, the P-75 Eagle project encountered many problems during its development and testing. The center of mass was miscalculated, causing stability issues. The engine failed to produce its expected power and had cooling problems. The aileron forces were too high at high speed, and the spin characteristics were poor. The P-75 Eagle also lacked any significant advantage over other fighters already in production, such as the P-51 Mustang and the P-47 Thunderbolt. In 1943, the USAAF changed its requirements and needed long-range escort fighters more than fast-climbing interceptors. Six XP-75 prototypes were modified for the long-range role, but they still did not meet the expectations. In 1944, after only 14 aircraft were built, including two prototypes and 12 production models, the P-75 Eagle project was canceled. The P-75 Eagle was considered a failure and a waste of resources, and none of them ever saw combat.
