Naval Aircraft Factory XN5N

The Naval Aircraft Factory XN5N was a prototype two-seat monoplane trainer built by the Naval Aircraft Factory in Philadelphia in 1941 for the United States Navy. It was powered by a single Wright R-760 seven-cylinder air-cooled radial piston engine of 350 horsepower turning a two-bladed variable-pitch propeller, and it was about 30 feet long with a 42 foot wingspan. A single prototype was built and evaluated, with a top speed of about 137 miles per hour and a service ceiling near 13,900 feet, but the type was not placed in production, so the factory's later trainers remained the biplane N3N line.
