Supermarine Spitfire Mk.XVI

Supermarine Spitfire Mk.XVI Supermarine Spitfire Mk.XVI

Die Supermarine Spitfire Mk.XVI war äußerlich mit der Spitfire Mk.IX

identisch, sie unterschied sich von ihr nur durch den verwendeten

Motortyp: die Mk.IX wurde von einem Rolls Royce 66 oder 70-Motor

angetrieben, die Mk. XVI von einem 1.705 PS starken Merlin 266-

Motor, der von American Packard in Lizenz gebaut wurde. Die

Produktion startete im September 1944, das erste Flugzeug wurde im

Januar 1945 an die No. 443 Squadron der Royal Canadian Air Force

ausgeliefert. Alle 1.054 Maschinen wurden im riesigen Werk von Castle

Bromwich bei Birmingham in England gebaut. Die letzte Auslieferung

fand im August 1945 statt. Die Version war für Tiefflug-Einsätze als

Jagdbomber optimiert worden und hatte die typischen „E-Flügel“ mit

langläufigen 20mm-Kanonen außenbords der Maschinengewehre des

Kalibers 12,7mm. Mit Spitfire Mk.XVI wurden 36 Squadrons der Royal

Air Force ausgerüstet, einschließlich acht Squadrons der Royal Auxiliary

Air Force nach dem Krieg. Die Flugzeuge waren bis 1951 im Dienst, bis

sie von den strahlgetriebenen Flugzeugtypen Vampire und Meteor

ersetzt wurden. Die SL718 der No. 612 Squadron der Royal Auxiliary Air

Force war eine von mehreren Spitfire-Flugzeugen, die nach dem Krieg

an Luftrennen im Vereinigten Königreich teilnahmen. Maschinen der

Version Mk.XVI wurden auch an die Luftstreitkräfte Frankreichs,

Belgiens und Burmas geliefert. Im Jahr 2012 gibt es von der Spitfire

Mk.XVI noch fünf flugtüchtige bzw. in Restaurierung befindliche

Exemplare, die wieder für den Flugeinsatz flott gemacht werden sol-

len; etliche weitere sind in Museen rund um den Erdball ausgestellt.

Mit dem Merlin 266-Motor erreichte sie eine Höchstgeschwindigkeit

von 652km/h (405 mph) auf einer Höhe von 6.705m (22.000ft). Die

maximale Reichweite betrug 1.577km (980 Meilen). Spannweite: 9,93m

(32ft 7 in.), Länge 9,55m (31ft 4 in.).

The Supermarine Spitfire Mk.XVI was externally identical to the

Spitfire Mk.IX, differing only by the type of Merlin engine fitted - the

Mk.IX having a Rolls-Royce 66 or 70 powerplant and the Mk.XVI used

the American Packard licence-built 1,705hp Merlin 266 engine.

Production commenced in September 1944 with the first aircraft

reaching No.443 Sqn. Royal Canadian Air Force in January 1945. All

1054 aircraft were built at the huge Castle Bromwich factory near

Birmingham, with the last delivery taking place in August 1945.

Optimised for low-level fighter-bomber role, this version was typically

fitted with the ‘E’ wing having the long 20mm cannon barrels out-

board of the 0.5in machine guns. Spitfire Mk.XVIs equipped 36 RAF

squadrons, including eight squadrons of the Royal Auxiliary Air Force

after the war, these serving until 1951 when they were replaced by jet

powered Vampires and Meteors. SL718 of No.612 Sqn, Royal Auxiliary

Air Force, was one of several Spitfires entered in post war UK air races.

Mk.XVIs were also supplied to the air forces of France, Belgium and

Burma. In 2012, five Spitfire Mk.XVIs are airworthy or being restored to

flying condition, with several others displayed in museums around the

world. The Merlin 266 engine gave a maximum speed of 652km/h

(405mph) at 6,705m (22,000ft). Maximum range was 1,577km (980

miles). Wingspan: 9.93m (32ft 7in.) Length: 9.55m (31ft 4in.)
