Nieuport Nighthawk


The Nieuport Nighthawk was a British fighter aircraft developed by the Nieuport & General Aircraft company for the Royal Air Force towards the end of the First World War. Although ordered into production before the aircraft first flew, it did not enter large scale service with the RAF owing to unreliable engines. Re-engined aircraft did see service in Greece, serving from 1923 to 1938.

Stats

This one has a 440 hp engine that flies at about 220km/h. Increase the engine horsepower to fly at it's real speed of 240km/h

Landing speed -80km/h
Take off speed -110km/h
Stall speed -75km/h

It can be a slow flier indeed! But also very maneuverable. I find it quite easy to maneuver, it can do loops and it's turning radius is very small. Efficient fighter.

Enjoy!
