Fletcher BG-2一款二战期间由弗莱彻航空公司设计的轰炸滑翔机
发展
XBG-2(Model 16)是弗莱彻先前设计的BG-1延伸品。该机也是一款木制轰炸滑翔机，而该滑翔机又是弗莱彻基于其YCQ-1（FBT-2极其失败的无人机版本）的无人机技术，操控XBG-2。它将由BG-1的两个机身和外翼板组成，并由新的机翼中心部分和连接两个垂直尾翼的水平尾翼连接，以及位于内侧机翼下方的中线或右舷机身的电视整流罩鼻子。主起落架由四个主起落架支柱支撑，每个机身可容纳一枚2,000磅的炸弹。[1][2]
美国陆军航空军于1942年4月订购了3架XBG-2（序号42-46902/4）。[3][N 1]然而，因为BG-1差强人意的操控性能，1942年9月8日，BG-2合约未完成就被取消。[1]

注记
- ^ Andrade (1979, pp. 59, 96) states that the XBG-2s on contract were originally ordered as a production batch of the Frankfort CG-1; however, Andreas Parsch notes that Andrade's mention of the XBG-2 bomb gliders being originally ordered as CG-1s is due to a Q→G typo in CQ-1, since Norton (2008) points out that the BG-2, like the BG-1, was derived from the CQ-1 drone controller plane.[4]
