World War Two Fighter Aircraft of the Royal Navy The SEAFIRE
When designing the Seafire the idea was to adapt the iconic Spitfire which would have the capability to land and take of from an aircraft carrier. These changes to the original aircraft had some drawbacks however, for example a smaller fuel tank and brittle construction. Seafire had a variant of the Rolls Royce Merlin engine capable reaching high speeds and making it still capable fighter aircraft despite its drawbacks. The Aircraft had it`s first flight in 1942 and ending its production 1949 with over two and a half thousand aircraft build.
