Plane Prototype History:
The Italian Macchi C.202 Folgore Fighter Was The Main Fighter Aircraft Of The Italian Air Force During World War II, Designed By Designer Mario Castoldi Based On The Mc.200 Lightning Fighter. The For Fiat A.74 Star Air-Cooled Engine Used In Its Predecessor MC.200 Could Only Provide 870 Horsepower, Severely Limiting Its Performance. Designer Castoldi Firmly Believes That Replacing High-Power Inline Liquid Cooled Engines Is The Only Way Out. Thanks To Its Alliance With Germany, Italy Obtained The Production License For The Daimler Benz Db 601 Liquid Cooled Engine, Which Was Manufactured By Alfa Romeo Under The Model "Ra.1000 R.C.41", Becoming The Heart Of Folgore Fighter. The New Streamlined Engine Cowling Replaces The Previous Short And Thick Nose Design, Coupled With A Closed Cockpit, Making The Appearance Of The C.202 Very Smooth And Greatly Reducing Air Resistance. The All Metal Structure Of The Body Also Ensures The Necessary Strength. In Order To Quickly Enter Production, The C.202 Cleverly Retained The Main Components Of The MC.200, Such As Wings, Tail Fins, And Landing Gear, This Greatly Shortened The Time For Research And Development As Well As Production Line Renovation During Wartime. It Made Its Maiden Flight In August 1940, With A Top Speed Of 595 Kilometers Per Hour, Equipped With Two 12.7mm Machine Guns, And Later Models Were Equipped With 20mm Machine Guns. The Thunderbolt Retains The Excellent Maneuverability Inherent In The MC.200 Series, While Its Sturdy Structure Allows It To Perform Large Angle Dives. Its Flight Performance Is On Par With Top Fighter Jets Such As The British Spitfire And The German BF 109. This Aircraft Model Was Put Into Actual Combat In 1941, Mainly Deployed On The North African Battlefield, Participating In Battles Such As Tobruk, And Also Participating In The Malta Air Battle At The Same Time. In September 1942, 12 MC.202 Aircraft Were Transferred To The Front Line Of The Soviet Union, And By 1943 Only 9 Were Withdrawn. In 1943, During The Allied Invasion Of Mainland Italy, A Small Number Of MC.202 Participated In The Battle Of Sicily. After Italy Surrendered, Some Of These Aircraft Were Transferred To The Allied Or German Forces And Eventually Withdrew From The Battlefield. The Macchi C.202 Is Widely Regarded As One Of Italy' S Best Fighter Planes During World War II. It Perfectly Combines Elegant Aerodynamic Appearance With Excellent Flight Performance, But Its Weak Firepower And Unsatisfactory Output Have Prevented It From Becoming A Key Force In Determining Battlefield Victory Or Defeat, Making It A "First-Class Second Rate Fighter". To This Day, There Are Still Two C.202 Survivors Worldwide, Displayed At The Italian Air Force Museum And The Smithsonian National Air And Space Museum In The United States.
