Featuring a newly designed laminar flow wing and a much thinner compared to its predecessor, this plane had its first flight on 2nd September 1942. With its lighter frame and powered by a massive 24-cylinder Napier sabre engine, this fighter aircraft performance was spectacular.

One of the finest aeroplanes of the Second World War, the Hawker Tempest V could trace its design lineage back to the Hurricane Fighters. The plane entered Royal Air Force service in early 1944. Although this was still a big aeroplane for a single engined fighter, its airframe was light and it was powered by the massively powerful 24 cylinder Napier Sabre engine, giving the new fighter spectacular performance. Making its first flight on 2nd September 1942, the Hawker Tempest featured a newly designed laminar flow wing, much thinner than the wing used on its predecessor, allowing the new fighter to slip through the air at incredible speed.
