The first Vampire model, the F.1, entered service, in the RAF in late 1945, too late to partecipate in the WW2. The plane underwent rapid development and equipped many squadrons of many Air Forces over all the world primarly in the fighter-bomber role. In this role it was highly capable, being small, agile, relatively fast and yet able to carry bombs and rockets projectiles as well as 20 mm cannons. The shape of the plane was dictated by the engine. In contrast to the Meteor, De Havilland chosed a one-engined aircraft and a twin-boom layout to reduce the lenght of the jetpipe and to get maximum performance from the low-powered engines of the time. The fuselage was constructed from Mosquito-style plywood sandwich with balsa as a stabilishing filling. The aircraft included in this package is from the 608th Squadron, RAF Thornaby Base, 1950-51. atc_heavy=0 atc_id=VF316 atc_airline=RAF atc_flight_number= [General] performance=De Havilland DH-100 Vampire F Mk.3\n\nLength: 9,37 m\nHeight: 2,69 m\nWing span: 11,58 m\nWing area: 24,36 sq. m\nEmpty weight: 3.300 kg\nMax TO weight: 5.600 kg\nEngine: 1 Goblin Gn.2 (1.409 kp)\nInitial vertical speed: 1.460 m/min\nMax speed: 881 km/h @ 9.000 m\nCeling: 13.000 m\nRange: 1.960 km\n\nCredits:\n\nAircraft Model Design and Textures: (C) Roger Hardy 2001\nE-MAIL: roger.hardy@rottingdean.demon.co.uk\n\nFlight Model, Panel and Package: (C) Simone Pratticò 2001\nE-MAIL: spratti@tin.it\n\nSound Set: (C) Mike Hambly 2001\nE-MAIL: soundpro3@aol.com atc_type=DEHAVILLAND atc_model=DH-100 [WEIGHT_AND_BALANCE] reference_datum_position=0.000000,0.000000,0.000000 empty_weight_CG_position=0.000000,0.000000,0.000000 max_number_of_stations=50 station_load.0=0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000 empty_weight=7716.000000 empty_weight_roll_MOI=100000.000000 empty_weight_pitch_MOI=100000.000000 empty_weight_yaw_MOI=100000.000000 empty_weight_coupled_MOI=1300.000000 [fuel] Center1=0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,96.000000,0.000000 LeftMain=0.000000,-2.083333,0.000000,52.000000,0.000000 LeftAux=0.000000,-13.750000,0.000000,65.000000,0.000000 RightMain=0.000000,2.083333,0.000000,52.000000,0.000000 RightAux=0.000000,13.750000,0.000000,65.000000,0.000000 fuel_type=2.000000 number_of_tank_selectors=1 [airplane_geometry] wing_area=262.000000 wing_span=38.000000 wing_root_chord=6.916667 wing_dihedral=0.000000 wing_incidence=-0.494385 wing_twist=0.000000 oswald_efficiency_factor=0.498287 wing_winglets_flag=0 wing_sweep=0.000000 wing_pos_apex_lon=0.000000 wing_pos_apex_vert=0.000000 htail_area=50.000000 htail_span=11.000000 htail_pos_lon=-16.666667 htail_pos_vert=0.000000 htail_incidence=0.000000 htail_sweep=0.000000 vtail_area=18.000000 vtail_span=4.837355 vtail_sweep=0.000000 vtail_pos_lon=-18.833333 vtail_pos_vert=5.833333 elevator_area=13.500000 aileron_area=8.480000 rudder_area=6.290000 elevator_up_limit=27.501974 elevator_down_limit=20.626481 aileron_up_limit=19.480565 aileron_down_limit=14.896903 rudder_limit=23.491270 elevator_trim_limit=19.480565 spoiler_limit=59.988681 spoilerons_available=0 aileron_to_spoileron_gain=0.000000 min_ailerons_for_spoilerons=0.000000 min_flaps_for_spoilerons=0.000000 [contact_points] point.0=1.000000,9.916667,0.000000,-3.500000,1574.803150,0.000000,0.568818,37.140000,0.186463,2.500000,1.641973,5.000000,5.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000 point.1=1.000000,-1.000000,-5.750000,-4.000000,1574.803150,1.000000,0.568818,0.000000,0.493091,2.500000,0.807772,5.000000,5.000000,2.000000,0.000000,0.000000 point.2=1.000000,-1.000000,5.750000,-4.000000,1574.803150,2.000000,0.568818,0.000000,0.493091,2.500000,0.807772,5.000000,5.000000,3.000000,0.000000,0.000000 point.3=2.000000,-1.583333,-19.500000,1.166667,1574.803150,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,5.000000,0.000000,0.000000 point.4=2.000000,-1.583333,19.500000,1.166667,1574.803150,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,6.000000,0.000000,0.000000 point.5=2.000000,-18.166667,0.000000,-1.166667,1574.803150,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,9.000000,0.000000,0.000000 point.6=2.000000,9.916667,0.000000,-3.416667,1574.803150,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,4.000000,0.000000,0.000000 static_pitch=1.708374 static_cg_height=3.834280 [Flaps.0] type=1 span-outboard=0.500000 extending-time=5.000000 system_type=0 flaps-position.0=0.000000,0.000000 flaps-position.1=13.330818,0.000000 flaps-position.2=26.661636,0.000000 flaps-position.3=39.992454,0.000000 [GeneralEngineData] engine_type=1 Engine.0=-7.500000,0.000000,0.000000 fuel_flow_scalar=1.000000 [TurbineEngineData] fuel_flow_gain=0.002170 inlet_area=4 rated_N2_rpm=29920.000000 static_thrust=3109.900000 afterburner_available=0 reverser_available=0 [Reference Speeds] flaps_up_stall_speed=90.000000 full_flaps_stall_speed=72.000000 cruise_speed=337.239794 [keyboard_response] elevator=150.000000,250.000000 aileron=150.000000,250.000000 rudder=150.000000,250.000000 [Views] eyepoint=5.408260,0.000000,2.499077 [autopilot] autopilot_available=0 flight_director_available=0 default_vertical_speed=1800.000000 autothrottle_available=1 autothrottle_arming_required=0 autothrottle_takeoff_ga=0 autothrottle_max_rpm=110.000000 pitch_takeoff_ga=8.000000 use_no_default_bank=1 [direction_indicators] direction_indicator.0=3,0
