这 费利·阿尔巴科 是一架英国单引擎鱼雷轰炸机，由Fairey Aviation在1939年至1943年间为皇家海军舰队航空兵制造，并在第二次世界大战期间使用。它有三名机组人员，设计用于发现和侦察以及水平，潜水和鱼雷轰炸。长鳍金枪鱼，俗称“苹果芯”，被认为是1936年投入使用的Fairey Swordfish的替代品。然而，长鳍金枪鱼与剑鱼一起服役，并在它之前退役，从1944年开始被两种单翼飞机设计所取代，即Fairey Barracuda和Grumman Avenger。

General Characteristics
The Fairey Albacore was a British single-engine, three-seat carrier-based torpedo bomber biplane used by the Fleet Air Arm (FAA) during World War II. Designed in response to Air Ministry specification S.41/36, it was intended as a modern replacement for the legendary but older Fairey Swordfish. The Albacore introduced several advancements over the Swordfish, including an enclosed and heated cockpit, hydraulic flaps, and a variable-pitch propeller. Despite these improvements, it ultimately served alongside, and was retired before, the Swordfish, being eventually replaced by the monoplane Fairey Barracuda.
