Fairchild XNQ

The Fairchild XNQ (T-31) (Model M-92) was an American trainer designed as a standard primary trainer for the U.S. Air Force during the 1950s. If the Fairchild XNQ had gone into production in its T-31 guise it would have been the first United States Navy-designed airplane used as a standard primary trainer for the U.S. Air Force.
