The Edo OSE was a 1940s American single-seat multi-role floatplane designed and manufactured by the Edo Aircraft Corporation.
Design and development[edit]
The Edo Aircraft Corporation was an established company that produced seaplane floats. In 1946, Edo designed its first aircraft, the Edo OSE. Two prototype aircraft (designated XOSE-1) were built and flown in 1946. The XOSE-1 was a single-seat low-wing cantilever monoplane with a single float and fixed wingtip stabilizing floats. The wings could be folded for shipboard storage. The aircraft was designed for a variety of roles including observation and anti-submarine patrols. Unusually, it was designed to carry a rescue cell on the underwing hardpoints, which would be capable of carrying a single person when used for air-sea rescue. Eight production aircraft (designated XOSE-1) were built to a United States Navy order but none were accepted into service. A two-seat training conversion was carried out as the XTE-1, but production TE-2 aircraft were cancelled.
Variants[edit]
- XS2E-1
- Original designation for OSE and TE single seat floatplane scouts.
- XOSE-1
- Prototypes and production single-seat aircraft redesignated from XS2E-1; eight built.
- XOSE-2
- Prototype two-seat floatplane scout aircraft, two converted from XOSE-1.
- OSE-2
- Production two-seat floatplane scout aircraft, four aircraft were assigned Bureau of Aeronautics numbers (BuNos.), but production was cancelled.
- XSO2E-1
- Original designation for XTE-1 conversions.
- XTE-1
- Two-seat floatplane trainer conversions, two aircraft converted from the XOSE-1 prototypes.
- TE-2
- Developed from the TE-1, four aircraft were assigned BuNos., but production was cancelled.
