The Mosquito was a 1940s era high altitude, turbojet, strategic bomber designed for the UNNAF.
It competed with the likes of the B-47, XB-45, XB-46 and XB-48 offering a more affordable and economical package.
The Mosquito carries 1 x large, 2 x medium and 9 x small bomb ordinance required by the UNNAF criteria.
Test pilots report it flying up to 30mph faster than the B-47 at altitudes of up to 40,000ft whilst using considerably less fuel due to the development of XML rated engines.
The Mosquito takes off at around 180mph whilst landing at around 140mph. The straight wings induce considerable drag however, so the aircraft should always be flown with atleast 40% power when on landing approach which should maintain 150mph until landing flare.
