It's a Sea Fury and I think the one in the picutre is based in Southern California somewhere- I've seen it flying in and out of Camarillo.

Was it based on the FW-190?


That joke was too funny to let it die.

Very strongly influenced. if you dont see it looking at that pic...  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

BTW other plane strongly influenced by the Fw190 was the Ki-100. The engine mounting was designed after the engineers had inspected and carefully studied a BMW801 mounting in a Fw190.

No armament on that thing?

The KI-100 came about solely due to a lack of inline engines. The FW-190 that the Japanese had did show them how to mount a large diameter engine with a narrow fuselage. Fuselages of which they already had.

S!

Wasn't influenced by the 190.  It's a Tempest with an Annular cooling radiator for the inline Sabre engine.  The engine is basically the same as the Tempest, although uprated.  The Annular radiator was a design which was considered for the Tempest originally, and was used in the Tempest II.  The Tempest V used the Typhoon style radiator because it was simpler to continue with it.

Yes it was based on the Tempest/Typhoon.

No it did not use the Sabre.

A Bristol Centaurus 18-cyl radial was used.

Other than the engine installation it owes a lot more to the Typhoon than the 190.

Tempest MKII no ?

The Sea Fury was a variation on the Tempest II: It was basically a lightened example of the same aircraft. The close cowled radial engine design was strongly influenced by captured and downed examples of the F190, especailly the oil cooling system. I believe the raised cockpit position was introduced after the first carrier landing trials.
The armament was the same as the RAF Tempests: 4 Hispano Mk. Vs
