The Mercator was an unsuccessful contender for a United States Navy requirement for a long-range maritime patrol bomber, with the Lockheed P2V Neptune chosen instead.

Destination's Journey<p>The Martin XB-48 was an American medium jet bomber developed in the mid-1940s. It competed with the Boeing B-47 Stratojet, which proved to be a superior design, and was largely considered as a backup plan in case the B-47 ran into development problems. It never saw production or active duty, and only two prototypes, serial numbers 45-59585 and 45-59586, were built. <a href="https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/martin-xb-48-medium-jet-bomber/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">destinationsjourney.com/histor</span><span class="invisible">ical-military-photographs/martin-xb-48-medium-jet-bomber/</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/MartinXB48" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MartinXB48</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/MartinB48" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MartinB48</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/aviation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>aviation</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/aviationhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>aviationhistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/bomber" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bomber</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/USAF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USAF</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/aeroplane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>aeroplane</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/airplane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>airplane</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/aircraft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>aircraft</span></a></p>
