Douglas XA2D-1 Skyshark
The Douglas A2D Skyshark was intended as a successor to the Douglas AD
Skyraider. It appeared at a time when the Navy was reluctant to use pure jet aircraft on its aircraft carriers, and it was powered by a turboprop engine. Although it had substantial performance improvements over the Skyraider, there were serious reliability problems with its engine, and the program was cancelled after only twelve were built (four never flew), and the aircraft never entered operational service with the Navy. The sole surviving example is on display at the airport in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Slideshow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eieqxj6ErZk
