Westland Whirlwind
God its finally done..
The Westland Whirlwind was a British twin-engined fighter developed by Westland Aircraft. A contemporary of the Supermarine Spitfire and Hawker Hurricane, it was the first single-seat, twin-engined, cannon-armed fighter of the Royal Air Force. When it first flew in 1938, the Whirlwind was one of the fastest combat aircraft in the world and with four 20 mm Hispano-Suiza HS.404 autocannon in its nose, the most heavily armed. Protracted development problems with its Rolls-Royce Peregrine engines delayed the project and only 114 Whirlwinds were built. During the Second World War, only three RAF squadrons were equipped with the aircraft and, despite its success as a fighter and ground attack aircraft, it was withdrawn from service in 1943.

——————————————————————————–
Size – Close, but not perfect. The plane is about 1 meter off in wingspan and 0.2 meters off in length, but its close enough.
Engine- The engine is a realistic 12 cylinder engine!
Speed- The speed is about 50kph less than the real one in an attempt to get it to cool better
Cockpit- Nah, its not very realistic :c

We could not get this thing to cool very well even after a engine remodel.. The thing cruises best at 36% power, but it can do short bursts of high speed flight costing flight time.
– A way to cool the engine in an emergency would be to gain altitude, Throttle 0, Clutch closed, and ENG off, this will make the plane fall, but cool.
