Fairworth FW-3 Boomerang | Antepodea | Air Superiority Fighter/ Fighter-Bomber | Boomerang Mk. I Boomerang Mk. II Boomerang Mk. IV Boomerang Mk. VII/VIII Boomerang Mk. X Boomerang Mk. 21 |
1939 | 1940-1946 | The backbone of the RAAC from 1940 to 1945. Radial engine, carrier capable single engine fighter renowned for its manouevrability. Based on elements of the Fairworth Miru. After 1943 the type proved its worth as a reconnaissance and ground attack aircraft and shifted into the Fighter-bomber role, it continued to be used in this role until 1946. | |
CAC CAC-9 Bullroarer | Antepodea | Air Superiority Fighter | Bullroarer Mk. I Bullroarer Mk. II/III Bullroarer Mk. V/VI Bullroarer Mk. X Bullroarer Mk. XII Bullroarer Mk. 18 Bullroarer Mk. 20 |
1944-1957 | The Bullroarer was the apex of Antepodean propeller driven aircraft, widely regarded as one of the most successful prop planes of the period. Early versions were made with an Arcadian-built radial engine but later variants (after 1945) were assembled with locally-made inline V12 engines. A lack of local jet production led to the Bullroarer continue to be tweaked and upgraded and used well into the 1950s. After 1950 the Bullroarer was mostly relegated to secondary duties and close air support. | ||
