RJ Hawker Tornado II 5.1

244k RamboJutter  3 months ago

Introduction

Happy Christmas everyone.

The ultimate evolution of the Hawker Hurricane, through the Typhoon and Tempest and now into the Tornado. Obvious variation from the Typhoon includes;
o Bent Wing = bigger props
o Counter rotating props = ability to use more power from upgraded Napier Sabre engine (H shaped) which needed extra exhaust ports
o Bigger fin = more lateral stability
o Rounder and wider fuselage = easier to maintain / carry necessary equipment / cable runs etc.

Simpleplanes stuff

o Sequenced and fully fitting undercarriage including the bits that are part of the leading edge of the wing
o Full camo scheme
o Sliding canopy
o Full cockpit
o Detailed flaps
o Bendy letters and roundels (non of this clagged on the side stuff)
o 14 custom ww2 rockets
o Ventral air inlet exhaust opens under 150mph

Controls

AG1 = start the engine

Information

This build is intentionally built to feel heavy on elevator to start with, it takes a decent run for takeoff due to weapon loads (14 rockets and cannon ammo isnt light), once you offload the ordinance and gain speed it is quite manoeverable.

    @SomeSPGuyWhoLikesLore ah OK, it's actually 6ft longer than the hurricane, the fuselage is chunky and the nose is short due to the big engine so maybe its a combination of those?

    @RamboJutter it looks short but either that it's actually short or the body is just massive
