The XP-17 comprised the airframe of the first P-1 mated
to the new 480hp Wright V-1460-3 Tornado inverted inline
air-cooled engine, and was intended primarily to
test the power plant rather than extend the service life
of the P-1 design. The conversion was undertaken by
the US Army and flight testing was initiated in June
1930.
