Auto Credit Based on Rondine's Bimotor Challenge
This is a british plane, wich was inteded to be a fighterplane in WW2, but issues appeared at high speeds and g‘s, so it was primarily used as a high speed bomber, nightfighter and a high altitude scout plane. The G 41 was the first jet aircraft in the world and was nicknamed „meteor“ because of the trail it left behind its engines. It also had a variation, witch used the very first turbofans and one, where the pilot was lying in the cockpit, so that he could sustain mor g‘s.
