The Typhoon is a british WW2 prop fighter that was introduced in the middle portion of the war. The Typhoon,?(T?iffy) has a plethera of issues, to the aircraft. One of the problems was in the 20MM hispano cannon. it would jam frequently and a pilot found the soultion by placing toilet paper in the gun to it would not jam. Another problem was with the engine, the engine would take half an hour to syncronies the pistons so the engine could run to its maximum effeincy. The most interesting flaw I have heard was ???rare cases of the tail portion of the aircraft to rip aparat into shreds. It was eventually solved. Hawker company completly redesigned the typhoon into the tempest.
