		The Hawker Tempest was a RAF fighter aircraft of World War II, an improved version of the Hawker Typhoon and one of the most powerful fighters used in the war.
		The Tempest V was in the hands of operational squadrons by April 1944, where it profitably carried on in the low-level attack tradition of the Typhoon, which it was replacing as Tempest production increased.
		Tempests circling Luftwaffe airfields also scored a number of kills on new German jets such as the Messerschmitt Me 262, which was helpless on landing approach as its jet engines could not spool up quickly.

	The Hawker Typhoon and Tempest - Great Britain
		The 820-mile range of the Tempest V in clean condition was an appreciable improvement over that of the Typhoon, and was due not only to the small additional quantity of fuel carried, but to the aerodynamic refinement of the later machine, which permitted a higher cruising speed for the same power.
		By May, five Tempest Vs had been lost due to engine failure, and this was discovered to be due to an over speeding of the propellers, resulting in an uncontrollable increase in engine revolutions, the failure of the bearings and the collapse of the oil system.
		The Tempest II was powered by the 2,500 hp Bristol Centaurus V or VI eighteen-cylinder, air-cooled, two-row radial, and attained a maximum speed of 440 mph at 15,900 feet and 406 mph at sea-level.

	Hawker Tempest
		When the Hawker "Typhoon" demonstrated to be inadequate for an interception role, in 1941 it was decided to create a version of that plane to that role, initially called "Typhoon" Mk.II.
		At the beginning of 1942 this project was renamed "Tempest" and took advantage for the aborting of the "Tornado" project because it recieved the engines destinated to the development of that project.
		The "Tempest" Mk.I flew on 24 February 1943, but some problems with the Sabre IV engine convinced the developers to utilize the Sabre II on the "Tempest" Mk.V ; the first plane of this model (805 built) flew on 21 June 1943.

		The Tempests, on the other hand, could stooge about on half-power, then, when they spotted a V-I, they opened up, got into firing position and fired in their own time, thanks to their over- whelming speed.
