Design and development
The prototype XPQ-10 was ordered by the United States Army Air Forces in 1941. Derived from the civilian Culver Model MR, the XPQ-10 was a high-wing monoplane equipped with twin Franklin O-300 engines and a fixed tricycle landing gear.[1] Plans were made for the production of PQ-10 series aircraft; however, before the XPQ-10 was completed, the project was cancelled.[2]
