U know the history behind this photo?

The Jug had a hung 500 lb bomb under the belly which he thought he dropped but was still loosely shackled. He landed and it got jolted loose - landed on the ground, was ARMED, exploded. Because it was built like a tank, he survived. The plane, however..

Just a little something by a company that decided to make ejector seats.
It's the Martin Baker MB5.
An outstanding piston aircraft that was never put into prodution. Firstly because the war ended and secondly because the jet age arrived. Still a mystery though, because the Supermarine Spiteful (as well as several other piston driven fighters) did go into production. In fact, the MB5 could have been put into production in time to see service before the end of the war.
It was powered by the 2340HP RR Griffon 83 which drove a pair of three blade counter rotating props. It had some excellent design features, used torsion bar operated flight controls , had a very wide track undercart  and a very well layed out cockpit including single lever fuel control and very good forward views. Four  Hispano cannon (of course) with Martin Baker feed mechanism were fitted. A top speed of 460mph, strong rate of climb and exceptional robustness would have made for a fine fighter.
I've always thought it a great shame that the MB5 didn't go into production. If it had been used operationally in the war, I'm sure it would have become one of the classics.
There is a replica MB5 in the USA.

When I first saw it I thought it was some bizarre modified P-51.
Title: Motivations
Post by: Krusty on January 12, 2006, 10:12:51 AM
Basically they wanted to use principles that had already been tested, so I bet the P51 did influence it a LOT.

One major reason it didn't go into service was the contra props. Historically they were not effective in WW2. For a single engined plane they added far too much weight for the gearbox, and it offset any gains made by the 2x props (really only 50% more prop blades than a P51). Same problem with spits that had contra props. They mucked things up and conventional solutions proved to be just as qualified.

Post by: Morpheus on January 12, 2006, 10:45:17 AM
Wrong krusty.

With other high-po fighters already in production and jet fighters well on their way to taking the spotlight the MB5 remained a prototype. The Mb5 went faster, further, and had better maneuverability than mustang. The biggest hurdle which Martin Baker never over stepped was gaining the confidence in the brits to accept his design into full scale production.

You make it sound like he was some dashed foreigner old chap.;) You don't get an OBE, a CBE and a knighthood without a British pasport.

It was not based on the Mustang. It was, however, known in the British aviation press at the time as the "British Mustang" - a misnomer and a handy catch-phrase based purely on the fact that it bore a fleeting resemblance to the P51.
Infact it had a lot of features that the Mustang didn't have. You might as well say it was based on any other number of aircraft. I'm sure a search of sites on the net will give info about the MB5 for those interested.

Its contra rotating props did not give adverse performance.
Had the Air Ministry accepted it, Martin Baker would have built it.
(http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/attachment.php?attachmentid=3700)

The test pilots at Boscombe Down loved it. They flew it and I'm happy to take their word for it.
Also, they tested it after the Vampire and Meteor had been flown.

To make a few things clear here for you, I did not say it was based on the mustang.

FYI, the single major influence in it not seeing action, or even production, was that fighters like the mustang,  were already in mass production and were going to be very hard to dethrown... While the Jet age, like I said, was already well on its way.

Er what?:confused: I didn't suggest you did say it was based on the Mustang. Krusty said it probably was. What's with the hostility?:cry Actually I aggreed with what you said and my quote of you was dealt with in a jokey manner in the first paragraph of my post.
A quick look back at the earlier posts and you'll see it was another poster who said it was based on the Mustang.  A misunderstanding by you, old chap.:)
 
The ultimate reason for it not making it was nothing to do with the Mustang.  Hawker, Supermarine and Bristol (to name a few British companies who did have post war piston engined fighters) however, had a firm grip on the Air Ministry and their obsolete designs were able to reach production despite the advent of the jet age. The MB5 for all it's virtues was, sadly, an aircraft too late, from a company with no proven record in fighter aircraft design. Even if it had made it into production, it would've only seen the arse end of the war at best. It may have become one of the ultimate piston engined fighters but there was no point after the war.

Will it be a SEA map, AvA map, or (Hopefully) an MA map?
