Hi all

New download, in the category "Planes that say ooooh!" Grin

The Hawker Tempest MkVI

Very nice plane - strange engine - seems to cause little blue flames.

Anyway, some viewers paying attention may notice the open Cowlflaps on take-off. Didn't know i'd opened them.

Here a really stupid question: What are those flaps and what do they do? Embarrassed

I was paying so much attention on taking the second shot i nearly went of the tarmac... Embarrassed

again ...

Nice shots of a nice aircraft.

To answer your question, cowl flaps help in engine cooling while on the ground and at low airspeeds. They produce drag so they are usually retracted at higher speeds.

I only pretend to know what I'm talking about. Heck, that's what lawyers, car mechanics, and IT professionals do everyday. Wink

Lovely Pics of a lovely aircraft! Cheesy

I like the subtle bounce characteristics on landing and the pilot ducks his head when the canopy opens and closes. Very good !
