The Fokker-Atlantic XHB-2 was a projected monoplane heavy bomber of the 
mid-1920s that was to have been powered by a pair of 787 hp Packard 
2A-2540 twelve-cylinder liquid-cooled Vee engines.  Gross weight was 
projected to have been 24,500 pounds.  The project was cancelled 
before anything could be built.
