| Based on a US Navy Bureau of Aeronautics design for a
two-seat fighter, the XF12C-1 all-metal parasol monoplane,
ordered on 30 June 1932, featured aft-folding
wings with leading-edge slats and trailing-edge flaps,
and manually-operated retractable main undercarriage
members. Flown in July 1933, the XF12C-1 was initially
powered by a Wright R-1510-92 two-row radial rated at
625hp at 1830m. By the time the XF12C-1
was tested by the US Navy in October 1933, the Twin
Whirlwind engine had been replaced by a Wright
SR-1820-80 Cyclone single-row radial. With the discarding
of the two-seat fighter category it was redesignated XS4C-1 in December 1933 and the XSBC-1 in January
1934 as a scout-bomber. It crashed during a preliminary
demonstration on 14 June 1934, subsequently being replaced
by the XSBC-2 biplane.
