Hawker Typhoon IB

105k Hedero  4.3 years ago

The Hawker Typhoon is a British single-seat fighter-bomber, produced by Hawker Aircraft. It was intended to be a medium-high altitude interceptor, as a replacement for the Hawker Hurricane but several design problems were encountered and it never completely satisfied this requirement. 1=nav lights 2=landing lights G=LandingGear VTOL=Flaps. Also I am aware of the unrealistic flight speed. The real one did around 405 mph as mine does 179 or maybe 200. Sorry about that. Enjoy!

    Hello! Just passing by, but use maxRpm to the engine, (and make it similar to the Power) it really boosts your aircraft!

    Oh ok, I guess it would be pretty accurate then.@Baldovino

    @Hedero It came after. :) For the manuverability, more or less I think is 1:1 with original one (don't forget, it was a fighter). The speed too, is more or less 1:1.

    And yes, your Tempest is very beautiful. Probably a little too maneuverable to be realistic, but apart from that it looks gorgeous!@Baldovino

    Ok thanks, I believe I'll give it a go. Also, did the Tempest V come before, or after the Hawker Typhoon? @Baldovino

    Nice work. I did the "son" of this project, the Hawker Tempest V that was a very good and fast low altitude fighter.

    Oh wow that's surprising. I absolutely love the way the typhoon looks, just a world war 2 badass. But I guess not. Interesting.@Tankace1

    Yep, the typhoon or tiffy as it was known was famous for falling apart and killing test pilots, in a more interesting case ones wing fell off and the pilot only surivived the crash because a gas leak knocked them unconscious @Hedero

    So do the wings randomly tear off, the engine randomly shut down, and gasses leak into the cockpit that make the pilot go unconscious like on the real one

    Lovely job of a tiffy! I’d just edit the power of the prop using the new overload mod built in to the game to increase the speed.

    Yea and I've tried to do an airoil like BogdanX's or other creators but its just too hard and tedious.@Zippy6

    If you could nail a good airfoil this thing would be perfect.

    @Hedero the 20mm shoot pretty fast actually. Around 750 rounds per minute each

    Was able to make a semi controlled landing on only one wing :)
    Fantastic build

    Oh thanks. But I thought that the caliber on the Typhoon had a slower fire rate that light machine guns used on other aircraft.@Mustang51

    Good looking aircraft! The cannons fire a little too slow but other than that it’s fantastic!
