After deliveries of the PBY Catalina, also a Consolidated aircraft, began in 1935, the United States Navy began planning for the next generation of patrol bombers. Orders for two prototypes, the XPB2Y-1 and the Sikorsky XPBS-1, were placed in 1936; the prototype Coronado first flew in December 1937.After trials with the XPB2Y-1 prototype revealed some stability issues, the design was finalized as the PB2Y-2, with a large cantilever wing, twin tail, and four Pratt \u0026amp; Whitney R-1830 radial engines. The two inner engines were fitted with four-bladed reversible pitch propellers; the outer engines had standard three-bladed feathering props. Like the PBY Catalina before it, the PB2Y's wingtip floats retracted to reduce drag and increase range.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51894791602464,"sku":"NEW094261285X","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/91qTskEbjJL.jpg?v=1782025497","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/consolidated-pb2y-coronado-naval-fighters-85-094261285x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
