The de Havilland Vampire is a British jet fighter which was developed and manufactured by the de Havilland Aircraft Company. It was the second jet fighter to be operated by the RAF, after the Gloster Meteor, and the first to be powered by a single jet engine.
Development of the Vampire as an experimental aircraft began in 1941 during the Second World War, to exploit the revolutionary innovation of jet propulsion. From the company's design studies, it was decided to use a single-engine, twin-boom aircraft, powered by the Halford H.1 turbojet (later produced as the Goblin). Aside from its propulsion system and twin-boom configuration, it was a relatively conventional aircraft. In May 1944 it was decided to produce the aircraft as an interceptor for the Royal Air Force (RAF). In 1946 the Vampire entered operational service with the RAF, only months after the war had ended.

@WinsWings Ok thank you. Still an excellent build!
@TheAviator77 Thank you for the feedback, I would reduce the area of the ROLL flap. You can simply find the hidden wings (real working wings) and blow them up 5 times to get 1 to 1 scale. Then you could edit the way you like. (Most of the time, I scale down to 0.2 of the real wing)
You should make a venom
@Supremellama Oh
Amazing work, WinsWings! The vampire is beautifully detailed and accurate, best on site! My only qualm is that it rolls very fast, which is hard to control sometimes
@HarryCat Great! hitting the Upvote means a good "Thank you" in our community
Ok thanks very amazing work though I love the plane! 👍
@HarryCat thanks for the feedback, I will look into it and update in the second round
@HarryCat Very amazing and cool plane though
Hey the control stick is not connected for it very weird in Vr
@WinsWings the P-59 airacomet
@Markolley ah, okay. I will do. I will tag you if I have done.
@WinsWings could you make a Beechcraft king air? (Any variant)
It’s my dad’s favorite plane
@Taron yes, please do as far it is a successor. And tag me
Hello WW, I have made a Modified Version of your SST Jet that features A Modded cockpit, Passenger cabin and a somewhat working overhead panel. I want to ask your permission to upload this.
@JustMiko yes,,,it drinks the blood
Does it bite?
@NordicAerospace thanks
yay
amasing
@Supremellama ya, try it. I will take a look later. Since i am on another project working on a blueprint, I couldn’t get back to this at the moment.
@WinsWings I've worked out why it rolls to the left when you pitch, for the functioning wing that actually control the pitch is for some reason even though it's physically centred are acting like its off to one side
@TheAviationBoy thank you
I attempted to make a Dh. Vampire, Key word "attempted", and this is honestly better, you've earned a fellow SimplePlane users upvote.
@Reaper1660 sure, let me know
Nice build, can i make a request
