Everything about The Sc Seahawk totally explained
The
SC Seahawk was a
scout seaplane designed by
Curtiss for the
U.S. Navy. The existing Curtiss
SO3C Seamew and the
Vought OS2U Kingfisher were 1937 designs that, by
1942, needed replacement.
Design and development
Work began in June 1942, following a US Navy
Bureau of Aeronautics request for scout seaplane proposals. Curtiss submitted the Seahawk design on
1 August 1942, with a contract for two prototypes and five service test aircraft awarded on
25 August.
