Product Description

--The design of the P-47 began with an air-cooled double-star 18-cylinder engine with an output of 2,000hp and an exhaust turbine.
――The prototype XP-47B flew for the first time on May 6, 1941, and the surroundings were stunned by the size of the aircraft with a total weight of 5,480 kg, and I was surprised at the flight result of the maximum speed of 663 km / h.
――However, many initial troubles occurred, the strength was insufficient, the windshield could not be opened, and the fuel system also failed, but the US Army ordered this new fighter, and 171 aircraft were produced.
――At the end of 1942, production of the P-47C, which was equipped with a 200-gallon drop tank, began, and when it was put on the front line, the radius of action was greatly expanded, and it became possible to penetrate deep into enemy territory. ..
――Next, the further improved P-47D recorded 697km / h at an altitude of 9,200m, further widening the performance difference with enemy fighters.
――Among the D type, the streamlined fuselage of the leather back was abolished to make it a water drop type windshield in order to improve the rear visibility, and the maximum speed was slightly reduced in the P-47D-25 and later types. It became an extremely well-balanced fighter, and combined with the exhaust turbine equipment, it demonstrated high performance at all altitudes from high to low, especially in ground attacks.
