The Tempest was an improved derivative of the Hawker Typhoon, and one of the most powerful fighter aircraft used during the war. The Hawker Tempest was a fighter that was used by Great Britain during World War II. A development of the Hawker Typhoon with a thinner semi elliptic wing, two prototypes of the Hawker Tempest was initially ordered under Specification F.10/41 in November 1941 as the Typhoon II, before the numerous changes resulted in the name being changed to Tempest. Designated Tempest Mk I, these featured a longer forward fuselage to hold more fuel, to compensate for the reduction in fuel tankage resulting from the thinner wing, and a 2,340 hp Sabre IV engine with wing leading edge radiators. These were followed by an additional four prototypes, which were ordered to permit the testing of alternative engines. The Tempest was later followed by the Hawker Fury.
