Ryan XF2R-1 Dark Shark

[th12333]

Hi all, this my first post, sorry for bad english...(and google translate)
I search image and drawings (plans) XF2R-1... Now i 3d modeling XF2R
And at the moment, I can't find almost anything, I do not know what the matter is, the plane was, but there are no photos (for example, the cockpit), even here on the forum, there is really nothing (I was hoping for it)

I built the Ryan Fireball and Dark Shark last year. Take a look:

Are there photos of the cockpit? I don't understand why there is so little information on XF2R and FR...

I think it's because of how quickly they were made obsolete...

Hello everyone again, question to airfoil, it says NACA 65-117 a=1, but I can't find it on certain sites, or rather a clean profile

 

[JonyClaber]

Hello . It can be challenging to find specific information and images for rare aircraft like the XF2R-1. The XF2R-1 was a prototype aircraft developed by the United States during World War II, and there might not be as much documentation available compared to more famous aircraft.

Isn't the airfoil of the XF2R similar to the FR-1?

 

[th12333]

I know that the XF2R is a further development of the FR-1, the difference is small (relatively), the difference in the engines and the shape of the front fuselage (engine)

Use javafoil, rfoil, xfoil, ect to generate the airfoil.

I know the focus here is on the XF2R, but sharing the FR-1 SAC just in case:

Thank you, I have a model of the FR-1 to build.

Honestly, I don't quite understand how to use it, but I'll try, thanks.

It's still useful, even though the topic was originally about XF2R, but it has a direct relationship to it.

As I understand the relationship, the F2R is literally an engine swap from the FR1.
