Hawker Sea Hawk
The Sea Hawk
“The jet with its exhaust split out both wing roots.”
Hawker · military
Sydney Camm, who designed the Hurricane, solved the early-jet problem of a long tailpipe losing thrust by splitting the Sea Hawk's exhaust in two and venting it out of each wing root. The result was a clean, elegant carrier fighter that flew at Suez in 1956 and served the Indian Navy from INS Vikrant until 1983. One survives in flying condition with Navy Wings in Britain, and it flies rarely.
The Sea Hawk has two jet pipes but only one engine: the Nene's exhaust was split and routed to a nozzle in each wing root.
A straight wing with a jet exhaust at each wing root and no tailpipe at the back of the fuselage. Folding wings and a tail hook on the real thing.
One might be overhead right now.
