Inside The Cockpit - Fiat G.91 R
Added 2019-10-13 21:11:48 +0000 UTC
Hey all,
Here is your Early Acces to the next 'Inside-The-Cockpit' featuring the Italian Fiat G.91R.
Designed in the 1950s, this aircraft provided an answer to the call for a universal light attack aircraft, slotted for use in all major NATO countries. Of course, things turn out way different.
Hope you enjoy and please let me know what you think!

Also, instead of saying that it was a "transformation"-era aircraft, I would say "transitional" or "transition". Which is a minor quibble.

There was an effort made after WWII to have controls for some of the important external systems look like the system that was controlled. E.g., the flap handle has an airfoil shape on the end, the gear handle has a wheel shape on the end. Given that, the choice to have a parachute on the drag chute handle makes perfect sense.

Chris - the Folland Gnat is pronounced "Natt", with a silent "g". A gnat is a small biting insect.

I never knew that Fiat played so important role and almost made it as a standard NATO fighter. Thank you, Bis for this video and keep on the good work.
