The Curtiss-Wright KD2C Skeet was an American target drone produced by Curtiss-Wright that began development in 1945. The Skeet was a pulsejet-powered air-launched expendable drone designed for the U.S. Navy for fleet gunnery training. It could use a 36-centimeter (14-inch) McDonnell J-11 McDonnell J-9 or Continental pulsejet engine. Control was provided by two axis elevators and ailerons through a radio receiver and gyro stabilizing system.

Made by Curtiss-Wright.
