The T110 Tank was a cancelled heavy tank project which began in June 1954. The proposed tank(s) were due to replace the M103 heavy tank. Restrictions were placed on the vehicle sizing as the tank was supposed to pass through the narrow tunnels of the Bernese Alps, none of which actually met the restrictions, but did not enter service due to the redundancy and due to the satisfactory results of the T43 (M103)^{[clarification needed]} of another heavy tank. It was intended to be built by Chrysler, but no vehicles were ever manufactured. The tank was planned to be powered by a Continental Motors, Inc. AV-1790-3 engine power plant delivering around 875 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 proposal 3 (TS31 aka T110E5), was favored.^{[citation needed]}

Proposals[]

There were 5 different proposals before the T110 program was canceled, all fitted with the 120mm T123E1 rifled anti-tank gun. The gun was developed into the 120mm M58 after the T110 program ended.

T110 Proposal 1 (fictionally known as T110E3)[]

The first proposal of the T110, it would have been equipped with the gun in a casemate hull. It was known as the TS5.

T110 proposal 2[]

The T110E4 was Chrysler's response to the power pack issues in their proposed design. The tank was planned to use an AOI-1490 engine from Continental Motors, Inc. located in the rear of the hull along with the transmission. It was known also as the TS6.

T110 proposal 3 (fictionally known as T110E5)[]

The T110E5 was the fifth and final proposal under the T110 program by Chrysler. In contrast to the previous designs, the T110E5 possessed a turret, although it retained the 120mm T123 anti-tank gun. The artist illustration shows a conventional hull with no curve in the front of the tanks hull.^[1]
