Heschia Hes-10 B-1


[Description]

In the 1920's up to early 1930's, Trislandia has seen their airforce growing in size rapidly, this neccessitated training a bunch of new pilots, and so RLM Specification T12/1934 was made, the request is simple, monoplane single engine single seater advanced trainer aircraft with maximum speed of atleast 350km/h that can be easily made with capability to be converted into a twin seater

Two company reached out to tackle this Specification, Heschia, and Diesler, Heschia produced the Hes-10, while Diesler produced the Di-45 Antares, Heschia uses the Elfenhaven ELV12-33/850 Hornet V12 engine producing 850hp, while Diesler uses the older but frankly more robust Elfenhaven ELR9-27/650 Antares 9-Cylinder Radial engine producing 650hp, out of the two competing aircraft, Hes-10 is found to be good for the more advanced trainer with its high speed and slightly more difficult controls, while Di-45 is good for beginners thanks to its much more favorable control and slightly lower speed, eventually both aircraft were ordered to be made, about 2500 Hes-10 was made and to this day, some flight school in Trislandia still uses the Hes-10 alongside the more numerous Di-45 for their flight training

[Creator's Note]

Whoo, finally got this out of the way, just uploaded it in the morning before going for today's exam on Calculus, yeah that's gonna be pain i think, while i suffer in my exam and waiting for me to reply, you can fly this plane, a simple single seater advanced trainer and light fighter, its quite a decent plane i think, with most people who test flown this aircraft noting favorable control at medium speed

Some interesting things while i was making this aircraft, i keep finding ways to use parts more efficiently, like replacing the camera that came with the seat along with the flight computer with a simple blocky cockpit (that's the triangle thingy you see floating about), and making the engine looks more P-40 ish instead of my more standard rounded or streamlined nose, its been quite fun, and im glad to be able to get this out in time

I really can't thank @EngineerOtaku enough for his highly impressive work on test flying this aircraft and reporting all of his findings on a note for me to use, you went beyond of what im actually expecting, and i must thank you for going the extra kilometers, i will put the note in the comments area for anyone interested on reading said note

    @WinsWings, im sorry to ping you, but this is a submission for your "25 Parts Challenge", now the plane has been originally made as a successor to your challenge, however somewhere along the line, perhaps when i made an unlisted for test flight purposes, that successor was lost and now instead of being a successor to your challenge, its a successor to the incomplete version of this aircraft, which did successor correctly, im sorry for the slight difficulty this may cause

    @TeyvatAirForce saying its comparable to a Ki-61 is a bit of a stretch considering the Ki-61 is a much better plane in this sense, but i do agree on the majority of this comparison

    Comparable aircraft based on specifications:

    • A6M Zero
    • Ki 43
    • Ki 61
    • some variants of Curtiss P-40
    • some variants of Hawker Hurricane
