The XB-16 was to use four Allison V-1710 liquid-cooled inline engines; contemporary American aircraft used air-cooled radial engines.

Like the Boeing XB-15, the Martin XB-16 (Martin Model 145) was designed to meet the United States Army Air Corps' request for a bomber that could carry 2,500 lb (1,100 kg) of bombs 5,000 mi (8,000 km).

The Martin XB-27 (Martin Model 182) was an aircraft proposed by the Glenn L. Martin Company to fill a strong need in the United States Army Air Corps for a high-altitude medium bomber.
The original XB-33 design was to be powered by the R-3350, the redesigned XB-33A was to use Wright R-2600 engines.

It was designed by the Glenn L. Martin Company as the Martin Model 190 and was a high-altitude derivative of the company's B-26 Marauder.
In 1944, the U.S. War Department was aware of aviation advances in Germany and issued a requirement for a range of designs for medium bombers weighing from 80,000 lb (36,287 kg) to more than 200,000 lb (90,718 kg).
The first prototype, 46-685 continued to fly, including appearing in the film Toward the Unknown as the "Gilbert XF-120" fighter.
