The Consolidated XA-11 was an attack version of the 1930s Consolidated Y1P-25. It was the first attack aircraft built for the United States Army Air Corps that was fitted with retractable landing gear.
Only four XA-11s were built, as the Army Air Corps preferred radial engines for attack aircraft.
One XA-11 was modified as a testbed for the Allison V-1710 engine under the XA-11A designation.
