一提起“玩具枪”这个可爱的绰号,航空爱好者自然会想起波音P-26战斗机,它是美国战斗机设计的一个转折点,开创了高性能全金属单翼战斗机的时代。然而,作为一种脱离木布结构双翼机构型的划时代机型,它仍然留存着保守的设计:敞开式座舱,固定式起落架和机翼张线。后来由于多种因素,它成为波音公司在20世纪研制的最后一种战斗机,服役于20世纪30年代中后期,直到被更先进的塞维斯基P-35和寇蒂斯 P-36A 战斗机取代。P-26的设计是波音公司和美国陆军的一项联合计划,其方案综合考虑了各方面的要求。波音公司负责研制机体,陆军提供发动机和机载设备。首架原型机在1932年1月制造完成,于同年3月20日进行了首飞。
When it comes to the cute nickname “Toy Guns,” aviation enthusiasts will naturally recall the Boeing P-26 fighter, a turning point in the design of the U.S. fighter that pioneered the era of high-performance all-metal monoplane fighters. However, as an epoch-making model off the wing mechanism of the wood-cloth structure, it still retains the conservative design: open cockpit, fixed landing gear and wing line. It later became a Boeing's last fighter developed in the 20th century for several reasons until it was replaced by the more advanced Seviesky P-35 and Curtiss P-36A fighters in the late 1930s . The design of the P-26 is a joint plan between the Boeing Company and the U.S. Army, and its program takes into account all aspects of the requirements. Boeing is responsible for developing the body, the Army to provide engines and airborne equipment. The first prototype was completed in January 1932 and made its first flight on March 20 of the same year.
