#P80 Shooting Star

[dronescapesvideos]

Lockheed F-80C Shooting Star. One Of Kelly Johnson/Skunk Works Aircraft. Photo taken during the Korean War (circa 1951). The main opponent of the P-80 was the MiG 15, and interestingly both of them had the same turbojet engine, both derived from Frank Whittle's invention. Frank Whittle was sent from Britain to the U.S. together with his turbojet, whereas the Soviets purchased a few units from Rolls Royce, and cloned them, fitting them into their aircraft after discarding the flawed, and problematic WW2 German engines.
