Design and development

The CG-12 was a large transport glider with a seating capacity for 30 troops. Two were ordered on 24 September 1942 along with a static test airframe but the program was cancelled on 5 November 1943 following wind tunnel tests with models. The static test article, delivered on 27 July 1943, failed structural tests.
