The Culver XPQ-15, also known as the XTD3C-1, was an American target drone developed by the Culver Aircraft Company late in World War II.

Design and development

The XPQ-15 was a low-wing monoplane of conventional design. It was powered by a Franklin O-405 opposed piston engine.[1] Design work began in 1943.[2]

Operational history

Four examples of the XPQ-15 were built for evaluation by the United States Army Air Forces in 1945; two additional aircraft were tested by the United States Navy as the XTD3C-1. No production contract was placed.[1]

Variants

XPQ-15

USAAF variant; four produced.[1]

XTD3C-1

USN variant; two produced, BuNos 29665-29666.[3]
