The Seversky XP-41 was a
fighter aircraft built in the United States in
1939. A single
prototype was modified from the last production
Seversky P-35 by adding a new streamlined
canopy, a
Pratt & Whitney R-1830-19 engine with a two-speed
supercharger, and revised landing gear.[1] The XP-41 first flew in March 1939. The aircraft was developed in parallel with the
P-43 Lancer, and work was stopped when the
USAAC showed a preference for the latter.
