Ryan developed the Firebee, a prototype of which, designated XQ-2, first flew in 1951. The drone was distinguished by swept wings and plumage, as well as an air intake in the bow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Firebee could be launched either by a carrier aircraft (the first of which was the A-26 Invader), or from the ground with a single JATO missile. Tests were final and the Firebee entered service as Q-2A.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe US Navy and US Army are acquiring a slightly different version of the Q-2A, featuring a 1000 lb.
