Curtiss P-48 Hammerhead

25.4k Mustang51  6.2 years ago

Fictional mid-WWII aircraft meant to join the war in the Pacific and Europe. It is a fast and nimble aircraft with a long range making it an optimal bomber escort. It has contra rotating props and an armament of 4 x .5 inch MGs and 2 x 20mm cannons. I took inspiration from multiple aircraft, mainly the Fokker XXIII and some of the Saab J-21.

    Either propulsion systems fit the twin-boom design.

    Then a twin-boom aircraft it shall be. Do you think prop or jet would be better? @JohnnyBoythePilot

    That would be epic. Your really good at the twin-boom style/design.

    Well, thank you, kind sir. Do you think I should stick to my twin boom style aircraft or move on to something else to mix it up a little? If I were to stick to it, I was thinking of making a larger bomber or ground attack aeroplane. @JohnnyBoythePilot
