Royal Aircraft Factory’s S.E.5.Package

Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.5 Package for FSX. The Royal Aircraft Factory’s S.E.5.a went tooth and nail with the Sopwith Camel for the accolade of being the finest British fighting aeroplane of World War I. Designed by a team which included the legendary H. P. Folland, the first prototype was unveiled in December, 1916. The craft utilised a 150-HP Hispano-Suiza engine with a large, automotive-style radiator and truncated exhaust manifolds. The S.E.5.a was widely regarded as a tough opponent by the enemy and as a good friend in the air by its pilots. It was robust, fast, and very easy to fly. The aircraft remains extremely popular among early aviation history buffs and WWI aficionados, and replicas abound, in both full- and smaller-scale versions. Excellent reproductions of the plane can be seen in the films “The Aviator” and “Flyboys”, but the best place to see the S.E.5.a in action is in the restored version of Howard Hughes’ “Hell’s Angels”.
