The XSE-1, of 1932, was a two-seat high-wing cabin monoplane with folding wings, powered by a 650 hp (485 kW) Wright R-1820F radial engine.[2] It was not ordered into production and only one prototype (A-9186) was built, which crashed before delivery.[1]

XSE-2

The XSE-1 was re-designed with stronger structure, larger fin and powered by a Wright R-1510 14-cylinder 2-row radial engine. Reportedly re-used the serial number of the destroyed XSE-1.[3]
