Filling the void between piston supremacy and the advent of turbine power, the plane was a stop-gap measure. The huge 13-foot-diameter prop combined with a 2,500 HP engine created enormous torque problems, which were somewhat ameliorated by the addition of a huge and rather unattractive vertical stabilizer with an enormous rudder. Like most aircraft from this transitional era, the aircraft was short-lived and not especially effective. However, the plane is historically significant in many important ways, in that it was a showcase for the ultimate development of the piston engine and demonstrates the measures needed to make such powerful beasts flyable. Prototypes were fitted with the Napier Sabre, but problems led to production versions being fitted with the Bristol Centaurus, an 18-cylinder sleeve-valve engine. Just 156 aircraft were built. atc_id_color=0x00000000 atc_id_font=Verdana,-11,1,600,0 visual_damage=0 prop_anim_ratio=-1 [fltsim.1] title=Blackburn Firebrand TF Mk V sim=FBNDV model=1 panel= sound= texture= kb_checklists=firebrand_ck ui_manufacturer=ALPHA ui_type=Blackburn Firebrand ui_variation=2.
