How do you build a radio controlled object e.g. plane?
There were plenty of similarly impractical ideas in military design during the 1930s, such as multi-turreted tanks and the like. As soon as they were thrown into the crucible of combat in the Second World War their shortcomings were quickly revealed.
How to change Flight Simulator files to make aircraft go faster?
Apparently the Defiant had some limited success when mistaken for a Hurricane by German pilots and attacked from behind, but I am not sure if this wasn't just an apocryphal story.
Why don't commercial planes have parachutes on board in case of a crash.?
Because it was a bomber?why can't I get help with flight simulator 2004?
When it was designed, the RAF didn't think that bombers would be defended by fighters."can any one tell me how to get a commercial pilot licience if i already know how to fly?
At first, its turret surprised German fighter pilots, especially those in Stukas and Bf 110s, who thought it was a Hurricane. However, they soon learned that it was simply a lot heavier and less agile than a Bf 109. Things then evidently turned into a bit of a "turkey shoot" with heavy losses and casualties, especially among the poor gunners, who couldn't wear their parachutes.
Must an airplane be certified in the "Utility" category to also be certified for spins?
It had better success as a night fighter against unescorted bombers, being able to get alongside then and fire sideways or underneath them and fire upwards, as originally intended.
Commercial (CPL) pilot ground school?
IMy Frend Mr Head he tells me "It was the best turret fighter the British had in 1940, the Blackburn Roc was worse, if you put half a ton of extra weight and half the number of guns inrto a fighter without increasing engine size or power and make sure it cannot shoot forward it is not rocket science to work out it will make a very good target for other fighter aircraft, even the RAF got the mesage and used them for target tugs after finding they were no good as nightfighters either".is the f-117 stealth fighter old?
There are few reasons why this aircraft was not successful, first the plane was powered by the magnicent rolls royce merlin engine one of the best aero engines of all yime but unfortunatley the drag and the extrea wieght of the turret meant the top speed was low so it could easily be caught. It also had if i remember rightly only 1 forward firing gun the turret had 360 degree rotation however the guns wouldnt fire in the forward direction due to the fact that if they did they would cut about 3ft of the end of each prop blade which isnt a good thing too happen. also the manouverability was affected again due to the weight disadvantage so it couldnt turn or roll very wellwhy does the 747 at dunsfold have strange engines ?
It was a useful fighter aircraft, just not a very good daytime fighter. As a visual nightfighter it did relatively well until the beaufighter and mosquito, with their H2S radar sets replaced it. Unlike other fighters it had a rear turret and air gunner sat behind the cockpit, so it could fly beneath the enemy plane and silhouette it against the night sky. the gunner could then fire up into the plane's belly.As a day fighter, it had no more power than a hurricane, had a larger wing area, the weight and additional drag of a hydraulic turret, an extra crew member and twin browning machine guns.
This made for a poor climb rate, poor speed and relatively poor manoeuvrability. Also if the aircraft was hit, the rear gunner had to go through a lengthy process to escape the aircraft and very often didn't make it.
why do kamikazi pilots wear helmets ?
Well for a start the only guns were on top of the plane, Making dog fights useless.But it was a good aircraft at shooting bombers down at night with its black colour and gun turret.More Questions & Answers ...
