ЧТО ОЗНАЧАЕТ СЛОВО SPITFIRE
Супермарин Спитфайр
Supermarine Spitfire - британский одноместный истребитель, который использовался Королевскими ВВС и многими другими союзными странами во время и после Второй мировой войны. Spitfire был построен во многих вариантах, используя несколько конфигураций крыла, и был выпущен в большем количестве, чем любые другие британские самолеты. Это был единственный британский боец, который был в непрерывном производстве на протяжении всей войны. Spitfire по-прежнему является популярным самолетом, причем примерно 55 Spitfires являются летными годными, а многие из них являются статичными экспонатами в авиационных музеях по всему миру. Спитфайр был разработан как короткодействующий высокопроизводительный перехватчик самолетов Р. Дж. Митчелла, главного конструктора в Supermarine Aviation Works. В соответствии с его ролью в качестве перехватчика Митчелл разработал своеобразное эллиптическое крыло Спитфайра, имеющее самое тонкое поперечное сечение; это тонкое крыло позволило Spitfire иметь более высокую максимальную скорость, чем несколько современных бойцов, включая Hawker Hurricane.
