XB-39 Superfortress
The Boeing XB-39 Superfortress was a prototype bomber aircraft, a single example of the B-29 Superfortress converted to fly with alternative powerplants. It was intended to demonstrate that the B-29 could still be put into service even if the first choice of engine, the Wright R-3350, ran into development or production difficulties.
