Ki-47 Skunk (pacific war challenge)

9,177 ZWLenning  4.7 years ago

THIS IS A FICTIONAL AIRCRAFT, DON'T TAKE THE INFORMATION IN THIS POST AS FACT!

The Ki-47 was a tiny Japanese fighter-bomber designed to replace the A6M Zero fighter and the B5N Kate torpedo bomber. It never entered mass production on a useful scale, due to a number of design faults and lack of airfields, though 194 were eventually produced.
click here for full 'file' on the aircraft .
The example here carries 4x 135kg bombs and 1 modified type 91 torpedo to facilitate drops at 300mph up to 75ft in height (approx. 22-23m) and is of the original production variant. This does mean that at 300+ mph manoeuvrability is significantly decreased due to the elevator locking up. also, the pilot was left unprotected inside the fuselage, so one good shot to the pilot area can completely disable the aircraft.

--Features:
functioning radiator
functioning cockpit
realistic damage model
realisitic flight model including high speed control lock

--Loadout available:
---1--- consists of:
3x 20mm cannons
4x 135kg bombs
1x type 91 torpedo

--controls:
AG1 = Engine and respective gauges
AG2 = arrestor hook
AG3 = navigation lights
AG4 = landing lights
AG5 = wing folding
AG6 = engine radiator
AG7 = toggle gun safety catch
AG8 = Arm/lock flaps
AG8 + VTOL down = flaps
Trim = trim

--Credit to
1. @SodiumChloride for help with spent cannon shells, and creating an aircraft with equations that I could reuse for my plane to speed up the building process (especially the VS indicator - no way i was working that out by myself!) and an artificial horizon that i tore down before rebuilding against his step by step because I couldn't understand it
2. @JolyLoly for helping me reach a realistic amount of drag and doing
a quick once over for problems (of which he found a few)
3. @Darkhound (i think?) for helping me de-bong (don't ask i had a problem with magnets)
4. a bunch of other people who had some useful pieces of information to part!

hope you enjoy my entry to BogdanX's pacific war challenge!
