T110

The 120 mm Gun Tank T110 was a cancelled heavy tank project which began in June 1954. It was an attempt to improve the T43 heavy tank project. Restrictions were placed on the vehicle sizing as the tank was supposed to pass through the narrow tunnels of the Bernese Alps, but none of the proposals actually met these restrictions. Development was cancelled due to the redundancy and due to the satisfactory results of the T43(M103). It was intended to be built by Chrysler, but no vehicles were ever manufactured. The tank was planned to be powered by a Continental AVI-1790-8 engine power plant delivering around 875 hp or Continental AOI-1490-1 delivering around 700 hp. The original T110 tank was a proposal created by Detroit Arsenal, and was introduced in a Detroit conference held in June 1954. Of many tank designs, the T110 TS31, was favored.
