What is it 001

Four Fairchild 22s were acquired and reconfigured by NACA for wind-tunnel and flight testing, even to the extreme of one used for flight tests of retractable ailerons on a tapered low wing, results of which were reported by J W Wetmore in NACA TN.714 as "a flight investigation ... to determine the lateral-control characteristics of retractable ailerons installed on a highly tapered wing ... retractable ailerons tested in this investigation gave approximately the same degree of control as plain ailerons of equal span with which the airplane was previously equipped. The amount of control available with the retractable ailerons was not sufficient to be considered satisfactory owing, apparently, to their rather short span (0.327 of the wing span). With the aileron span increased to between 0.50 and 0.60 of the wing span, a satisfactory degree of control would probably be obtained." We wonder where that unique and sporty-looking "upside-down" 22 ultimately went after testing was finished?
