The Hawker Hurricane is a single-engine British single-engine metal-frame fighter with canvas elements from World War II. Acting on all fronts during World War II, the Hawker Hurricane earned the name of one of the best and most ubiquitous airplanes of the era, as both a fighter and attack aircraft. Undoubtedly, however, the most significant card in the history of this machine was its contribution to the victory of the British in the Battle of Britain in 1940. The aircraft built by Sydney Camm at the request of the Ministry of Defense was to become the main force of the air fleet British. For the first time, a prototype aircraft powered by a Rolls-Royce Merlin Mk.II engine took off on 6 November 1935, piloted by Georg Bulman. Trials were excellent and it was soon decided to order 600 machines, the first of which entered service with 111 Squadron RAF in December 1937. When Britain declared war on Nazi Germany on 3 September 1939, the RAF had 19 squadrons of combat-ready Hurricanes, which began their military careers with operations in France and Norway. Over the course of the war, several versions of this highly successful aircraft were created. The first mass-produced version was the Mk.I with the Merlin III engine. Since 1940, Mk.II versions with the new Merlin XX engine with an engine capacity of 1280 hp began to be delivered to the units. It was this version, as the first Hurricane variant, that performed primarily assault and battlefield support duties. Its best variant was the Hurricane Mk.IID, used by min. in the North African campaign in 1942. The third version is the Hurricane Mk.IV with the new Merlin 24/27, 1620HP engine. It served as an assault machine armed with bombs, unguided missiles and Vickers S guns until 1944. A sea-going variant (Sea Hurricane) was also produced, serving on aircraft carriers and specially adapted merchant ships (Sea Hurricane Mk.IA) . Technical data (Mk.IIC version): length: 9.84 m, wingspan: 12.19 m, height: 4 m, maximum speed: 547 km/h, rate of climb: 14.1 m/s, maximum range : 965 km, maximum ceiling 10,970 m Armament: fixed - 4 x 20 mm Hispano Mk.II cannons, slingshot - up to 460 kg of bombs. hobby weapon 70022
