NACA altered this Fairchild 22 almost beyond recognition making it a low-wing plane! Some sources suggest that NACA had three or four F-22s, but photos prove that NACA 60 was tested in different configurations. However, a different airframe was procured through the US Navy in 1935, becoming NACA 82. That one had a Warner Scarab radial engine, USN designation XR2K-1 (not XR2L-1) and BuNo 9998.
