Project description<\/h3>\n

This second reconstruction includes the following elements:<\/p>\n

A plane<\/strong>: The DH-100 Vampire.<\/p>\n

Flight model and performance<\/em>: The performances are tested against the very numerous technical documents that we were able to gather, by test flights performed in our simulation centre at the Clin d’ailes Museum in Payerne by several former military pilots, as well as by tests performed with the real Vampire<\/a> stationed in Sion, owned by \u00c9ric Chardonnens<\/a>.<\/p>\n

History<\/em>: Since 1946, the Swiss Air Force has been interested in making the move to the jet fighter. Four De Havilland DH-100 Vampire of the first generation are acquired to test their use by the troop. A first series of 75 Vampires was acquired in England in 1949 and 1950, then a second series of 100 aircraft was manufactured under licence in Switzerland. 39 DH-115 MK55 Two-seater Vampire Trainer were then acquired in 1953. 3 additional machines were built using spare parts in 1959 and 1960. That is a total of 221 aircrafts.
\nAfter the introduction of new, more modern jets: Venom DH-112, Hunter, etc., the Vampire became the standard training aircraft, and in 1986, there were still 34 De Havilland DH-115Mk 55 Vampire Trainer and 63 De Havilland DH-100 Mk6 Vampire. The last single and two-seater Vampires were sold at auction or demolished in 1991. Some of them are still flying in Switzerland or abroad.<\/p>\n

Weapons<\/em>: With the TacPack<\/a> tactical engine, we will replicate the use of the Vampire’s weapons, including the gun, rockets and bombs, as well as additional tanks.<\/p>\n
