EDITORS COMMENTS
North American XA2J-1 Super Savage 124439: The Lone Fighter Prototype The North American XA2J-1 Super Savage 124439, a single-seat, twin-engine fighter aircraft, holds a significant place in aviation history as the sole prototype ever completed and flown in the North American XA2J program. First taking to the skies on January 2, 1952, this aircraft was expected to deliver improved performance compared to its predecessors. However, it faced the same engine issues that plagued other aircraft using the Allison T40 powerplants. Despite its promising start, the XA2J-1's performance did not meet the anticipated expectations. The engines, which were expected to provide a significant boost in power and speed, instead proved to be a major hindrance. The XA2J-1, like many other aircraft of its time, suffered from the unreliability and underperformance of the T40 engines. The XA2J-1 Super Savage 124439 represents a brief moment in aviation history, a testament to the challenges faced during the development of new and advanced aircraft technology. Its legacy serves as a reminder of the trials and tribulations that come with pushing the boundaries of aviation engineering and the importance of overcoming obstacles to achieve progress.
