The Firebrand required significant effort by Blackburn to produce a useful aircraft and the first discussions on a redesign of the aircraft with a laminar-flow wing took place in September 1943. The new wing was estimated to reduce the weight of the wing by 700 lb (320 kg) and increase the aircraft speed by 13 mph (11 kn; 21 km/h).
The XB-48 was the first aircraft designed with bicycle-type tandem landing gear, which had previously been tested on a modified B-26. The wing airfoil was too thin to house conventional landing gear mechanisms. [2] The main landing gear was in the fuselage and small outriggers located on each wing were used to balance the aircraft.
