The Northrop XP-79 Flying Ram was a prototype US-made fighter aircraft from the Second World War. The propulsion was provided by two turbojet engines Westinghouse J30-WE. The first flight of this machine took place in September 1945 - the plane never entered mass production. The deck armament was to consist of four 12.7 mm machine guns.

The Northrop XP-79 Flying Ram was a very unconventional machine for the period in which it was created. First of all, it was created in a very rare flying wing arrangement, definitely favored by the Northrop label. Secondly, the pilot could steer the plane from the prone position, and the cabin was integrated into the fuselage nose. Such an arrangement of the pilot allowed him to withstand significant overloads better than in a sitting position. This avant-garde design, however, turned out to be highly unsuccessful, because it crashed during its first flight, and the pilot in charge of it lost his life as a result of the crash. After this mishap, all work on the XP-79 was stopped.
