The XP-67 Moonbat was a radical prototype fighter aircraft developed by McDonnell Aircraft during World War II. With its sleek, futuristic design, the Moonbat was envisioned as a high-speed, long-range interceptor capable of reaching top speeds of 405 mph. Its distinctive "blended wing-body" design aimed to reduce drag and improve aerodynamics, giving it a unique bat-like appearance that earned its nickname.

Equipped with two turbocharged Continental engines, the XP-67 struggled with engine reliability and performance issues. Despite promising innovations, including a focus on smooth aerodynamics and advanced cooling systems, the project was ultimately canceled after a single prototype was destroyed during a test flight in 1944.

While the Moonbat never entered production, its bold design and engineering ideas continue to captivate aviation enthusiasts as a glimpse of what might have been in aviation history.
