Martin XNBL-2

Military Aircraft

The Martin XNBL-2 was a 1920s biplane night light bomber proposal by the Glenn Martin Company for the United States Army Air Service. Two prototypes were ordered in 1922 but cancelled before construction began because of a lack of funding, so the aircraft was never built. The design figures record a crew of four, a length of 53 feet and a wingspan of 98 feet 2 inches, two Engineering Division W-1 engines of 700 horsepower each, a maximum speed of 95 miles per hour and five machine guns, which describe a large night bomber of the early postwar Army Air Service that remained on paper.
