Galerie de photos d’un Réservoir léger T-92, T92 Light Tank was an innovative American light tank developed in the 1950s by Aircraft Armaments. At 18.5 tonnes, 5m length, it was designed as an airborne/airdropped replacement for the 5 tonnes heavier M41 Walker Bulldog. The T92 was never accepted into service. The main gun was a conventional 76 mm cannon with a very low profile turret. Little more was exposed than the main gun and two crew cupolas which allowed 50 caliber and 30 caliber machine guns to fire buttoned up. The engine was moved to the front, which increased protection, and a rear access door provided an escape hatch and protection while reloading; this layout was later adopted by the contemporary Israeli Merkava battle tank. It had a crew of four with a semi-automatic loading system. It carried 60 main gun rounds, and automatically ejected spent shell casings.

The T-92 Light Tank was a prototype of an American light tank that was developed in the 1950s by a company called Aircraft Armaments. It was intended to be a replacement for the M41 Walker Bulldog, a heavier and more conventional light tank that was already in service. The T-92 had a very low and flat hull, made of welded steel and castings, that was designed to deflect nuclear blast waves and reduce its silhouette. It also had a large turret with two cupolas, one for the commander and one for the gunner, and a semi-automatic loader for the main gun.
The main gun was a 76 mm T185E1 rifled gun that could fire 60 rounds of high-velocity ammunition. The secondary armament consisted of three machine guns: one 12.7 mm M2HB in the commanders cupola, one 7.62 mm M37 coaxial with the main gun, and another 7.62 mm M37 in the gunner’coupole. Le T-92 était propulsé par un moteur à essence à pistons opposés Continental AOI-628-1 à 8 cylindres qui lui donnait une vitesse maximale de 56 km / h et une autonomie de 338 km. Le T-92 pesait 18 tonnes et avait un équipage de quatre personnes: commandant, mitrailleur, chargeur et conducteur. Le T-92 n’a jamais été accepté en service car il a été jugé peu pratique de le rendre amphibie, ce qui était une exigence pour les futurs chars légers après l’apparition du PT-76 soviétique. Le projet T-92 a été annulé en juin 1958 après que deux prototypes aient été construits et testés.
