Template:Short description Template:Infobox aircraft
The Fokker XA-7 was a United States prototype attack aircraft ordered in December 1929, and first flown in January 1931 by Fokker and then General Aviation Corporation after it bought Fokker-America in 1930, and entered in a competition held by the United States Army. However, the Curtiss A-8 won the competition, and A-7 development was not continued.
Design and developmentEdit
The XA-7 was a two-seat low-wing all-metal monoplane design. It featured a thick cantilever wing, tunnel radiator and two closely spaced open cockpits.
Despite some innovative features, the XA-7 did not proceed past flight test status. After testing, the sole prototype was scrapped.<ref>"Atlantic-Fokker XA-7." National Museum of the United States Air Force. Retrieved: 14 July 2017.</ref>
