History
This stunning aircraft came into service mid-1941 and was originally designed to be a medium to
high altitude interceptor. However, due to issues with the engine performance since the Napier
Sabre H-24 ended up performing better in lower altitude roles.

Later in it's development, this engine could output up to 3,500 hp (2,600 kW)and operated with a
fairly popular sleeve valve design which was primarily used in cars at the time. The first
aircraft this engine was ever fitted to was the "Napier-Heston Racer", designed to break the world
speed record at the time.

There were many variants of this aircraft with an array of different armament loadouts, the
original design (This workshop creation) was designed with 12 .303 (7mm) Browning machine guns.
Later models were then fitted with 4 20mm Hispano autocannons, bombs and RP-3 Rockets were also
loaded onto the airframe.

The Hawker Typhoon was first introduced into it's low-altitude interceptor role when it was the
only British aircraft that was fast enough to catch the Focke-Wulf 190 that also came into
service in 1941.
In 1943 after the modifications to the armament, this aircraft also moved into a more needed
ground attack role, in which it has reported the destruction of many WW2 German transport
vehicles and vital communications targets during the Normandy Landing raids.
