AGA Aviation LRG
# AGA Aviation LRG

The AGA Aviation LRG was a proposed amphibious transport glider design for the US Navy during World War II.

## Development

The LRG was a design for a twin-hull amphibious glider capable of carrying 24 troops (12 in each hull). Length was to be 108 feet 6 inches (33.07 meters), span was to be 57 feet (17 meters), and maximum speed was estimated at 200 mph (320 km/h). Two prototypes along with a static test airframe were ordered on 23 December 1941, and a 40% scale model glider with a civil registration was built to validate the aerodynamic behavior of the LRG. However, development of the LRG and production as the Naval Air Factory LR2N was cancelled in 1943 without either the prototypes or static test airframe ever being built.
