The Culver PQ-14 Cadet was an American low-wing, three-prop landing gear flying target of World War II and the post-war era. The machine entered training units in 1942. In the PQ-14A version, the drive was provided by one Franklin 6ACT-298-35 engine with a capacity of 150 hp. The length of the plane was 5.94 meters with a wingspan of 9.14 meters. The maximum speed did not exceed 300 km/h, and the power reserve was approx. 820 kilometers. The Culver PQ-14 Cadet was developed for the US Air Force as a development of the Culver LFA Cadet civilian aircraft. Compared to its predecessor, it had a more powerful engine and was slightly enlarged. The PQ-14 machine was radio-controlled from the ground and was used to train personnel, primarily anti-aircraft artillery. The most numerous version was the PQ-14A model. It should be added that the US Navy also used this version under the designation TD2C-1. After the end of World War II, a number of such targets were converted into aircraft and sold to civilian customers.
