The Cox-Klemin XS- was a 1920s American experimental scout biplane, the first aircraft to be launched and recovered from a submarine. The aircraft were powered by a 60 hp Lawrence radial engine. One aircraft was re-engined in 1923 with a Kinner engine and re-designated XS-2. The Navy ordered two types of aircraft, the Martin MS-1, constructed of wood and fabric, and the all metal Cox-Klemin XS-1. |

Die Marine bestellt zwei Typen, die Martin MS-1, aus Holz und Stoff gebaut, und die Cox-Klemin XS-1 aus Metall. |

Einsatzgeschichte |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
As part of a series of studies conducted by the US Navy after World War I into the possibility of submarine borne observation and scouting aircraft, the submarine S-1 became the experimental platform for this project late in 1923. The XS-1 and XS-2 and the Martin MS-1 were used for the trials mounted in a cylindrical pod behind the conning tower. After surfacing the aircraft could be rolled out and assembled, it was then launched ballasting the sub until the deck was awash. The first full cycle of surfacing, assembly, launching, retrieving, disassembly, and submergence took place on 28 July 1926, on the Thames River at New London using the XS-2. |

Als Teil einer Reihe von Versuchen der US Navy nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg für den Einsatz von Beobachtungs- und Aufklärungsflugzeugen wurde das U-Boot S-1 als Basis für dieses Projekt verwendet. Die XS-1 und XS-2 und der Martin MS-1 wurden für die Versuche in einer zylindrischen Kapsel hinter dem Turm verstaut. Nach dem Auftauchen wurden die Flugzeuge montiert und gestartet durch das absenken des Deck mit Ballast. Die erste vollständige Zyklus von Auftauchen, Zusammenbau, Start, Landung, Demontage und Untertauchen fand am 28. Juli 1926, auf dem Thames River in New London mit einer XS-2 statt. |
