Aircraft In World War II
There were many aircrafts in World War II, this is the history and the different types of aircrafts. The World War II aircrafts were a deadly weapon and there were many of them. These aircrafts pretty much make up the war. The attacks and battles in World War II mostly used aircrafts to attack enemies from the sky.
The history of the aircraft goes way back. Manufacturers made many different aircrafts for many different purposes. World War II allies needed many aircrafts to win the war, and 100,000 aircrafts were made for the US for the war. There were transporters, fighters, and even bombers. Transporters carried people to combat, fighters were very fast and they were escorts for the heavy bombers. Bombers carried bombs and dropped …show more content…
The main part of the aircraft was the airframes, which were mainly made out of metal during the war. Airfoils were what the wings were called, the wings were made out of metal too. A set of blades in the front of the aircraft was called the propellers, they act like a fan when they are in the air. The aircraft’s wheels were also known as landing gears, most of the aircrafts during the war had retractable landing gears (Masters Airplane).
The different aircrafts in the war were made by different companies and from different nations. The most overlooked aircraft in the war was the De Havilland DH.98. The nickname for this plane was “The Wooden Wonder” because it was mostly made of wood through the design of the aircraft. The P 51 Mustang was designed to help the Allies win the war, it outperformed the German planes too. The top speed of the aircraft is 437 miles per hour.
The Focke-Wulf 190 some say it’s the best piston fighter in the war. 20,087 were built by the end of the war. The top speed of the aircraft was 388 miles per …show more content…
Top speed was 273 miles per hour, and the range was 1,678 miles.
The Bell XFM-1 Airacuda Bomber was made by Bell Aircrafts and was unique and different. The top speed of this aircraft was 300 miles per hour, the range was 1,790
The Beechcraft XA-38 Grizzly / Destroyer was a heavy fighter plane produced by the Beech Aircraft Firm. The top speed was 376 miles per hour and the range was 1,625 miles.
The P-38 Lightning was a US Air Force aircraft designed by Lockheed, with a range of 1,300 miles and the top speed was 443 miles per hour. The Messerschmitt Me 262 is a German aircraft with a range of 652 miles and a top speed of 541 miles (“WW2 planes”).
The fastest aircrafts in the war were mostly Nazi Germany’s because they had a lot of advanced weapons and aircrafts. The fastest aircrafts were these three, The Lippisch P.13A, The Horten Ho X, The Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet. The Lippisch P.13A has a top speed of 1,025 miles per hour, but the range was 621 miles this was the fastest aircraft in World War 2. This aircraft was a Nazi Germany aircraft. The Horten Ho X has a top speed of 684 miles per hour. This was Nazi Germany aircraft. The Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet had a top speed of 659 miles per hour. This was a Nazi German aircraft (“WW2
