F-51H-5-NA Mustang

25.6k Hatsy  1.6 years ago

Some history:
The F-51H was a lighter mustang than the iconic P-51D and also one of the fastest piston-engined aircraft, it was originally going to fight in WWII against Japan, but it had arrived late so it was not seen. none in action in the war, also it didn’t participate in the Korean War, the P-51D was chosen instead because there were more P-51D than H. The F-51H was used in many units of the US Air National Guard.

Controls:
- Change vision position to try to see under the nose with Activate 2
- Drop all bombs with Activate 3
- Launch all rockets with Activate 4

Flight perfomance:
(All the perfomance without the suspended armament)

Max speed in a straight line at 3000 ft: 488 mph / 785 km/h

Turn time at 300 mph:
- Vertical: 19 s
- Horizontal: 16 s

Speed to take off:
Without suspended armament: 145 mph / 233 km/h
With suspended armament: 155 mph / 249 km/h

If you want, remove the suspended armament to be only a fighter.
(Not 100% accurate)

Edit: I realize this isn’t a better version of my old P-51H-5-NA Mustang, it has a bad maneuverability and it takes more time to take off, so I’ll make an improve version in the future 😅.
