TB2F
Mockup of the XTB2F
Role
Torpedo bomber
Type of aircraft
Manufacturer
Grumman
Status
Cancelled at mockup stage
The Grumman TB2F was a cancelled twin-engined torpedo bomber project, intended as Grumman's successor to the successful TBF Avenger . However, only a mockup was ever constructed.
In 1944 , during World War II , the Midway classaircraft carriers were being built, and Grumman attempted to design a new torpedo bomber to accompany those carriers. However, it was soon decided that, among other difficulties, it would be impractical to efficiently deploy twin-engined aircraft of this size from an aircraft carrier, and the plans were shelved.
