The P-71F Muskrat, also known as the Flip, is a push engine, Dihedral winged, canard, multirole fighter aircraft designed for the Ospretanian Air Force during WW2. This experimental fighter aircarft uses a “push” engine instead of s “pull” engine, it achieved greatness during WW2 as a “boom n’ zoom” fighter, meaning that it can get to very high altitudes, dive upon its enemy, and then speed away!!! It obtained its nickname “flip” by pilots, because of its quirk of being extremely sensitive to any Negative G input. It will do a very hard to recover from frontflip VERY QUICKLY. It has a top speed of around 450 kts, wich is incredibly impressive for such a bizarre fighter.
