Arnold. Reginald J. Mitchell developed a racing seaplane, the Supermarine S6B, which won the Schneider Trophy on 13th September, 1931. During the contest the aircraft reached 340 mph (547 km/h). In 1934 the Air Ministry announced that it was looking for a new fighter plane. Mitchell, whose company was now part of Vickers Aviation, decided to adapt his Supermarine seaplane, in an attempt to meet the requirements of the Royal Air Force. The new all-metal single-seat fighter plane, the Supermarine Spitfire Mk. I, had several technical features of the earlier racing seaplane. It had the same structure and aerodynamic lines. However, it had a new engine, the 1,030 hp Rolls Royce Merlin and carried 8 machine-guns. The first Spitfire prototype appeared on 5th March, 1936 and flew at 350 mph (563 km/h) and could ascend at approximately 2,500 ft (762 m) per minute. With its slender aerodynamic lines and elliptical-plan wings, it was claimed at the time, to be the smallest and cleanest aircraft that could be constructed around a man and an engine. The Royal Air Force was impressed with its performance and in June, 1936, it ordered 310 aircraft. The Supermarine Spitfire Mk. I went into production in 1937 and was operational in June, 1938. Vickers Aviation could not keep up with demand and most of Britain's manufacturers began building Spitfires. By October, 1939, the Air Ministry had ordered over 4,000 of these airplanes. Supermarine Spitfire Mk. II went into service in late 1940. These had a 1,150 hp Rolls Royce Merlin engine. Other versions appeared throughout the Second World War. This included Spitfire Mk. IV that was a photographic reconnaissance aircraft. The Spitfire Mk. VC was the first model to be used as a fighter-bomber and carried 500 pounds (226 kg) of bombs.

Terrible !!! Merci beaucoup !!

La dose de primer est évaluée par quel moyen ?

[ericgoujon]

On a une echelle de dose de Primer....en fonction de la temperature exterieure et moteur.... Easy....

[Fredben41]

Vraiment très bien la séquence de démarage ... Il ya aurait moyen de l'avoir complète ?

Merci pour le partage !!!

Fred

[ericgoujon]

[timj41]

That kind of reminds me of a horse trainer washing down a thoroughbred race horse, I know that seems ridiculous,

[gregersgram]

these vids put my RC videos to shame :P

[bigthunder9]

Vous etes de Roanne?

[groovy67]

In my opinion counter rotating props take away the beauty of the Spit or any other plane.I'm sure it helps with the engine torque,though.

[GGigabiteM]

I think I'd plug up the exhaust pipes before spraying water all over it. The props need a paint job too.

Superbe tout ça... Un tout grand merci de nous offrir ce plaisir.

Sinon, je vais peut-être abuser mais j'ai une question qui me trotte dans la tête depuis quelques temps: Sur un moteur en V comme le Spit ou le Mustang est-il nécessaire de brasser l'hélice avant de démarrer ? Sur un moteur en étoile, j'ai cru comprendre que le risque de blocage hydraulique provient du fait qu'il y a des cylindres inférieurs mais sur un moteur en V, il y a aussi un risque ? Amitiés Loïc
