- In 1944, the United States Army Air Forces presented aircraft manufacturers with a request to develop a [medium bomber weighing from 80,000 to 200,000 pounds], and Martin developed the XB-48 in response to this request.

- By adopting a complicated structure such as a slit-shaped cavity between the three engines to increase the propulsive force by the flow of air flowing in, it showed a high effect during the wind tunnel test, but the XB-48 Only two prototypes were manufactured without being adopted as a formality.
