Its and XP-47H


Which had a Chrysler XI-2220-11 water-cooled inline 16-cylinder inverted vee engine

The follow up being the XP-72 aka Super Thunderbolt


Which had a air cooled PW R-4360 that had 28 cylinders

Theres a reason for instrumenting a plane for test..
That being a pilots's 'perception' of what is going on can be very different from what is 'actually' going on.

Great read on that P47 website. It's my favorite airplane so that was pretty fun to see all the crazy late war variants.

The glorious Boulton Paul Overstrand (actually saw service with OTU in WWII) ....





A Jumo/DB (not sure which) powered Spitfire ...



From the colonies ... the CAC Woomera ...




Last but not least the Kalinin K7 (the real one, not the fake with the battleship turret).
