30 ft (9.1 m) long cargo space. Chase and
Douglas were awarded contracts to build 'light glider' prototypes, with the Chase design being designated XCG-18 and the Douglas Model 1028 receiving the XCG-19 designation. The Model 1028/CG-19 utilized aluminum for the construction of the fuselage, and its cargo compartment was 24.7 ft Ă— 7.7 ft Ă— 6.5 ft (7.5 m Ă— 2.3 m Ă— 2.0 m); for loading cargo, the CG-19's rear fuselage was hinged to swing sideways. A mockup of the CG-19 was inspected in March 1947, but when the US Air Force was facing tight budget constraints with respect to the CG-18 and CG-19 designs, it decided to cancel the CG-19 because the CG-18 was nearing completion.
