P-62A Akhuna

345 Osprey2008  6 months ago

The P-62A Akhuna is a inline prop, dihedral feather normal wing attack aircraft devloped as a Close Air Support fighter for the Ospretania Air Force. It was specifically designed as an attack role aircraft, powered by a single, yer powerful inline prop engine for high speed ground attacks. However, whilst on the drawing board, the manufacturing team realised the aerodynamics fit just right for this to be a true Energy Dogfighter. Capable of besting even the legendary P-44F Nocturne. The large Inline prop had to accompony a short fuselage, so peculiarly, the cockpit was mounted to the back of the fuselage, towards the Vertical Stabilzer, that is how huge this engine was. The plane is very touchy on landings, and requires expert stability to make sure the propeller doesnt strike the ground on landings.
