Premise of the thread: both designers and users/costumers try something new, a break from biplane tradition. The companies will desing and produce monoplane fighter aircraft, one (Fury) that features a non-retractable U/C, while another one (Gladiator) has retractable U/C, being a later design. What can RAF gain, what are the shortcomings, how much of influence this might have on Hurricane/Spitfire, as well as bombers currently in pipeline? What kind of performance can we expect on historical engines? How big the stretch in designs can we expect - future engines, guns, roles?
