Фото галерия на амбулантен тайфун, The Хоукър тайфун е британски едноместен изтребител, произвеждан от Hawker Aircraft от 1941 година. Предназначен да замени Hawker Hurricane в ролята му на прехващач, той първоначално страда от проблеми с производителността и е модернизиран, за да се превърне в един от най-добрите изтребители-бомбардировачи от Втората световна война.

1. Хоукър тайфун was a British single-seat fighter-bomber developed by Hawker Aircraft. Initially intended as a replacement for the Hawker Hurricane, its design shortcomings at high altitude led it to excel as a low-level interceptor and one of the most successful въздухоплавателни средства за наземна атака of World War II.
It was famously used in the Second Tactical Air Force for close air support during and after the 1944 Normandy landings, earning a reputation as a formidable destroyer of tanks and motorized transport.

Development and Service History
- Initial Role: The Typhoon was designed to be a fast, high-altitude interceptor, but its thick wings caused compressibility problems that restricted its performance at high altitudes.
- Engine Issues: The powerful Napier Sabre engine was initially plagued with reliability issues, including carbon monoxide seepage into the cockpit and structural failures at the tail, which required extensive redesigns and reinforcements.
- New Role: After the appearance of the German Focke-Wulf Fw 190, the Typhoon’s high speed at low altitude made it the only RAF fighter capable of catching the Fw 190 in “tip-and-run” coastal raids, securing its place as a low-level interceptor.
- The “Tiffie” as a ‘Tank Buster’: From late 1943, when equipped with RP-3 rockets, the Typhoon became a devastatingly effective ground-attack platform, specializing in “Cab Rank” close air support missions over Europe.
- Variant (IA vs IB): The early Typhoon Mk IA was armed with twelve 0.303 in machine guns, but the most common production model, the Typhoon Mk IB, standardized on four powerful 20 mm Hispano cannons.
Наследство
While the Typhoon’s initial role was a failure, its eventual success as a potent изтребител-бомбардировач made it indispensable to the Allied ground forces in the European theater. The design groundwork for the Typhoon was later refined into the superior high-altitude fighter, the Хоукър Темпест.
