	Supermarine Spitfire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Supermarine Spitfire was a single-seat fighter used by the RAF and many Allied countries in World War II.
		The Spitfire's elliptical wings gave it a very distinctive look; their thin cross-section gave it speed; the brilliant design of Chief Designer R.J. Mitchell and his successors (he died in 1937) meant the Spitfire was loved by its pilots.
		Supermarine Chief Designer R.J. Mitchell had won three Schneider Trophy seaplane races with his aircraft, by combining powerful Napier or Rolls Royce engines with minute attention to streamlining.

	Supermarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first Supermarine landplane to go into production was the famous Spitfire, which proved to be a successful design and, along with the Hawker Hurricane, entered into legend after its role in the Battle of Britain.
		Other well-known planes from World War II were the Seafire (a naval version of the Spitfire) and the flying boat Supermarine Walrus.
		The Supermarine main works was in Woolston, Southampton which led to the city being heavily bombed in 1940.

	Supermarine Spiteful
		Remarks by Dave Simpson: "The Supermarine Spiteful is a direct development of the Spitfire using a new laminar flow wing which was hoped to offer better high speed performance.
		There were a number of prototypes constructed of the Supermarine Spitful (and Seafang.) The initial specification F.1-43 was issued to cover proposed development of a Spitfire F.21 (laminar wing) for the RAF.
		One Spiteful (RB520) was adapted with an arrester hook for trials, and I think this may be aircraft (VG471) often shown as a Seafang Model 31, but it does not have folding wings or counter-rotating propellers.

	The Supermarine Spitfire
		Supermarine had great plans for the Type 224, but because of its failure in every department, the company had to do something quick to be able to prove to the authorities that they were capable of producing a good hard working fighter aircraft.
		Supermarine had for some time enjoyed success in aircraft design and with many aircraft bearing similarities to the Schneider successes including the 224, something different had to be designed.
		Supermarine went back to the Mk I airframe for the prototype Mk V and and installed a more potent Merlin 45 engine that although rated at 1,185 horsepower, its combat rating at 9,250 ft was actually 1,470 hp.

	Supermarine Attacker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Supermarine Attacker was a single-seat jet fighter of the Fleet Air Arm (FAA), built by the Supermarine company, and was the first jet fighter of the FAA.
		The design of the Attacker used the straight-wings of the Supermarine Spiteful, a piston-engined fighter intended to replace the legendary Supermarine Spitfire, and the Attacker was originally referred-to as the "Jet Spiteful".
		The Supermarine Attacker now had eight pylons capable of being armed with two 1000 lb (450 kg) bombs and eight unguided rockets.

	The Spitfire Info Page
		Supermarine was engaged in developing a new, laminar flow, wing for the Spitfire, where the thickest part of the wing would be much further from the leading edge than in the original wing.
		But in 1945, Supermarine was to have one last attempt at producing a piston engined propeller driven aircraft.
		After this, Supermarine was to enter the jet age and, Reginald Mitchell's Spitfire will go down in the annals of modern history as one of the exciting and successful fighter aircraft of the Second World War.

	Czech Master Resin 1/72 Spiteful & Seafang
		The Spiteful and Seafang were developments from the highly successful Spitfire lineage, with the Spiteful being designed for the RAF and the Seafang for the Royal Navy.
		While the Spiteful and Seafang were not successful as planes (mainly due to the advancement of the jet engine), the design was sound and in fact the wings from the Spiteful found their way onto Supermarine's first jet fighter, the Attacker.
		On the Spiteful, the nose is classic Spitfire, with a scoop under the wing and a curve up to the spinner, which holds a five-bladed prop.

	The Supermarine Spiteful
		Supermarine were engaged in developing a new laminar flow wing for the Spitfire where the thickest part of the wing would be much further from the leading edge than in the original.
		The new aircraft name was originally proposed as the Victor although eventually this was rejected in favour of the Spiteful.
		The first prototype was a converted Spitfire Mk XIV, serial NN660, which in common with the second prototype retained the original Spitfire tail unit.

	Spiteful Mk XVI (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
		In an effort to improve the performance of it's piston -engined fighters, Supermarine developed a new laminar flow wing.
		The first aircraft to be fitted with this new wing was sufficiently different from the Spitfire to merit a different name.
		Mk XVI Spitefuls were fitted with the 2,420 horse power Griffon 101 engine, giving them a top speed of 494 mph.

	Silver Cloud 1/48 Spiteful F.14
		Conceived as a follow-on to the Spitfire (a hard act to follow!), the Spiteful first flew as a hybrid - a Mk XIV Spitfire fuselage coupled to a radically different wing, one with straight tapers on leading and trailing edges, no washout, and inward retracting landing gear.
		The radiators on the Spiteful were shallower, but much wider than those on the Spitfire, which made them wonderful for belly landings.
		Canopy: although the Spiteful canopy was taller than that of the bubbled Spitfire variants, the kit canopy is perkier still.

		That fuselage is a far better model of a Spiteful than it is of the Spitfire.
		He said he is planning to release a kit of the Spiteful using that fuselage with a new wing.
		Supermarine used the Spiteful wing on the Attacker so the Attacker plan's wing, slightly scaled up to fit the KandA fuselage will produce a delightful model of a little known (and very cool) British fighter.

	A description of all the different marks of Supermarine Spitfire and Seafire
		Supermarine's replacement for the Spitfire was very similar in lines to the later Spitfires.
		The wing design of the Spiteful was later used in the Supermarine Attacker naval jet fighter.
		The Seafang was the Supermarine Spiteful in naval form.

	The History of the Spitfire Development
		On the 4th December 1939 Supermarine produced their specification for the Mk IV, the main characteristics being an aircraft, powered by the new Griffon engine, capable of reaching 420 mph and able to climb to 15,000 ft in only 4 1/2 minutes.
		Supermarine elected to go for the six cannon requirement and it was planned to have the aircraft airworthy by August 1941.
		In early 1944 Supermarine and the RAE at Farnborough were discussing incorporating the revised high speed wing with the "Super Spitfire".

		The Supermarine Spiteful was a British Rolls-Royce Griffon engined fighter aircraft designed by Supermarine to Air Ministry specification F.1/43 during World War II as a successor to the Spitfire
		In late 1943 early 1944 it was suggested by Joe Smith that Supermarine develop a simple jet fighter based around the Spiteful's wing and using a new jet engine that was being proposed by Rolls-Royce and which would later become the Nene.
		The enlarged fin/rudder of the Spiteful was also used on the Spitfire Mark 22 and 24's and was usually referred to as the "Spiteful tail".

	Supermarine Spiteful by Richard Eglen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
		The Supermarine Spiteful was the last of the Spitfire lineage.
		The prototype Spiteful was a hybrid aircraft possessing the Spitfire XIV fuselage mated to a redesigned laminar flow wing.
		The wide track undercarriage was an improvement over the Spitfire and it was logical to consider a version of the Spiteful for aircraft carrier landing.

		The only kit I know of is the limited edition Silver Cloud which is a little pricey with all the white metal.
		You could also take the fuselage from that Airfix Spit 24 you just ruined for the Spiteful, join it to the tail from the Academy XIVe (no doubt with effort), and put either the Academy wing or some other wing under it.
		The Falcon vacuforms of the Spitfire 18 and the Spiteful are the only accurate kits of these aircraft in 1/48.

	Review: The old Merlin kits of the Albatros W-4, Kawasaki Ki-32, and Supermarine Scimitar
		To remedy this deficiency and recoup its investment in the Spiteful, Supermarine created the Attacker, a quickie design that combined the wings, tail, landing gear, canopy, and systems of the Spiteful with a new fuselage and a jet engine (a similar strategy was successfully pursued by Yakovlev with the Yak-3 and Yak-17).
		Unfortunately, Supermarine's thick, laminar-flow wing suffered severely from compressibility at the transonic speeds the jet engine made possible (in this respect, it was far worse than the effectively thinner, wider-chord wing of the Spitfire).
		Though produced in modest numbers as a naval fighter-bomber (145 for the RN and 36 for Pakistan), the Attacker, with its old-fashioned, tail-dragger landing gear, was obsolete before it flew.
