The North American P-51 Mustang is an American single-engine long-range fighter and attack aircraft with a classic tail and all-metal construction. The prototype flew on October 26, 1940. The P-51 Mustang has earned a reputation as one of the best, if not the best, fighter of World War II. The replacement of the Allison V-1710-39 engine from the first project with the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine (version P-51 Mustang Mk.Ia) made the Mustang, like never before, reach perfection. The single-seat fighter impressed with its maximum speed, range, maneuverability and powerful weapons. The combination of all the most important parameters for evaluating the aircraft made the Mustang prove itself in virtually every role assigned to it: it gained air superiority, escorted, performed reconnaissance missions, attacked ground targets. The class of the design is evidenced by the fact that the Mustang remained in active service until the 70s! One of the most significant versions was the P-51D, based on the P-51B. It received a drop-shaped cabin fairing, ensuring excellent visibility, and a new engine - Packard V-1650-7, which significantly improved performance. Technical data (P-51D version): length: 9.83m, wingspan: 11.28m, height: 4.08m, maximum speed: 703km/h, rate of climb: 16.3m/s, maximum range: 2755km, practical ceiling: 12800m, armament: fixed - 6 12.7mm M2 machine guns, suspended - up to 908kg of bombs or 10 127mm HVAR rocket launchers.
