The Vickers Supermarine Spitfire

Vickers Super Marine Spitfire is one of the most symbolic aircraft in aviation history. It represents a constant technological advance in aviation research and is the focus of many publicity issues in British government and publishers. In the 1930's, the idea of ​​flight was still a new, highly unknown theoretical and physical process. As in the 1960's space race and today's hadron collider, this airplane seems to appeal to both old and young people.

Super marine spitfire is a single seat fighter used primarily for the British Air Force. Along with Hurricane Hawke "Spitfire fighters are designed as short-range high-performance interceptors" (June, Wikipedia, 4 November), they are the basis for the British to defend against any attack is there. But Supermarine Spitfire is also used for other missions of the British Air Force such as Interceptor, Photo Reconnaissance, Battle Bomber, Carrier Fighter, Trainer. (7, Wikipedia, November 4) The versatility of Spitfire design enables this

At the beginning of the war, British Hawker Hurricane and Super Maritime Spitfire fighters usually had four machine guns for Messerschmitt Bf 109. Although the initial signs of spitfire and hurricane were machine guns, the machine gun was 0.30 caliber (7.62 mm) class and had lower striking power than the large-diameter weapon that fired non-explosive bullets - German MG 131 machine gun , Japan - 103 machine guns, Berezin UB of the Soviet Union, especially the "Light Barrel" AN / M2 version of the American Browning M2 machine gun, all 0.50 caliber widely used as the main attack at the end of World War II (12.7 mm) Size Defense aircraft weapons

Undoubtedly, the world's most famous aircraft - Super Firethrower is a wonderful aircraft, and won the title of the aircraft correctly won the UK campaign. Eighteen Spitfire squadrons caused nearly few deaths, despite having half the number of aircraft, although smoking was much less than hurricanes. Designed by RJ Mitchell, Spitfire is faster, 370 miles per hour, more flexible than hurricanes, but with the same Merlin engine. On September 1, when Reichsmarschall Goering asked Ace Adolf Galland if it needed a British war, he replied the famous "fire extinguishing team".

Prior to the Air Force's normative challenge, R.J Mitchell was a chief designer of Super Marine Airlines. R.J Mitchell was influenced during the prototyping process but died of illness in 1937, led by Super Marin's new chief designer, Joseph Smith. Mitchell has never seen the achievement of his creation. After Mitchell 's unfortunate death, Smith and the design team continued to develop Spitfire during the Second World War, and during the hurricane it was different from other aircraft.
