Why the Spitfire Was Such a Deadly Fighting Machine ✈️ Air Warriors | Smithsonian Channel

The Spitfire was the brainchild of airplane designer RJ Mitchell. His innovative elliptical wing design led to the development of the Spitfire – which combined power, agility, and a larger weapon count.

Can you do Turkish Airlines flight 1951???

Not very specific. This type superseded the Hurricane of similar but earlier design. The Spit jumped alive when the Merlin grew a supercharger that was cockpit managed. This overcame initial climb and ceiling challenges that were part of the formulation needed to match-fight Germany's formidable ME-109.Reportedly, the Spit was the most dangerous of the two at ceiling height. It is worth one's time to research the Spitfire/Merlin combination so as to understand that as a Warbird machine it evolved through many stages of improvement. The Merlin was a ferocious powerplant that was used postwar in other airframes.

what about the hurricane it shot more planes down in the battle of britain than the spitfire

We really love your videos but there is a problem. When ever the video start to be very interest then it ends. Without us knowing what happened at the end. It's like majority of your videos are very shot. Please Always tell us all what that happened not a portion of it. Thank you.

Only the British would make a fighter plane out of wood....

[charleswesley]

If the fight was in sight of England they were ok.They had no range and was barely a match for the Messersmit. The Hurricane and Tempest were better and did the most of the fighting .

Hmmm the Me 262 Is way more deadly, if it came earlier in the war.
