 | And exactly what documentation are your referencing with those statements? The Spitfire had 40 different variants and was used in every theater of the war, continuing in British service even after the war. Please, tell us all what you mean by "sacrificed handling".

|  I mean that the spitfire was supposed to be a biplane when work on the hurricane began. So seeing the need of a fvast aircraft supermarine company made a monoplane. And that monoplane sacrificed a lot ofv handling when the first, amercian engine was fitted. Eventually a merlin one was fitted but the handlingb still suffered. Now do u see what i mean         |

I think someone has to read Spitfire: The History. The Spit Mk IX and Spit Mk XVI were basically the same plane, except the Mk XVI had the Packard Merlin M266 engine instead of the R-R Merlin 60 series engines of the Mk IX. The XVI was not even produced till late in WW2 so how did R-R Merlins get put in Spitfires before the Mk XVI?. Mods, this person is an outright troll. | |

| No, I don't see what you mean. Once again, you read this information where? You have made wild claims with nothing to back it up. If you have access to some documentation that counters everything else out there, we're all ears.

| I dont know why but it sounds like you have your aircraft mixed up. Are you thinking about a Hawker Hurricane? They made one version of the hurricane to have a slip wing to assist in short take offs. Also the Hurricane was not as manuverable as the spitfire. I beleive su-47 is gangsta that you now have every one confused.
