today?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"A small number of P-63s remain airworthy and appear at airshows in the United States, but there are no public Kingcobra flights. If you want to fly a real fighter yourself, MiGFlug offers cockpit experiences in genuine jet fighters you can actually strap into.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Why didn&rsquo;t the USAAF use the P-63 in combat?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"By the time the Kingcobra entered production in 1943, the US Army Air Forces was already well supplied with P-51 Mustangs and P-47 Thunderbolts, which had the range and high-altitude performance it needed. The P-63 offered no decisive advantage, so it was passed to Lend-Lease rather than into American combat units.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What was the RP-63 &ldquo;Pinball&rdquo;?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The RP-63 was a heavily armoured, unarmed Kingcobra used as a manned flying gunnery target.

Its predecessor, the P-39 Airacobra, had mounted its engine behind the pilot and fired a cannon through the propeller hub \u2014 a layout that gave superb forward visibility and a hard-hitting nose, but left the Airacobra gasping at altitude. The Kingcobra kept the concept and fixed the flaws.<\/p>\n<p>A new laminar-flow wing, a more powerful Allison V-12 and better supercharging gave the P-63 the height and performance the Airacobra lacked. The essentials remained gloriously odd: the engine sat behind the cockpit, a long driveshaft ran forward beneath the pilot\u2019s seat to a nose gearbox and propeller, a 37 mm cannon fired through the spinner, and the pilot climbed in through car-style doors.<\/p>\n<p>And yet, at home, almost nobody wanted it. By the time the Kingcobra was ready, the USAAF had all the Mustangs and Thunderbolts it needed. The P-63 never flew combat in American hands \u2014 a first-rate fighter with no war to fight.<\/p>\n<p>The Soviet Union solved that problem. Roughly three-quarters of all Kingcobras \u2014 some 2,400 aircraft \u2014 went east under Lend-Lease. Soviet pilots had already fallen in love with the Airacobra\u2019s cannon and low-altitude punch, and they took to the bigger, better P-63 as well. It served in the Far East during the Soviet drive into Manchuria against Japan in August 1945.<\/p>\n<p>Then there was the Pinball. The strangest Kingcobras never carried guns at all: the RP-63 was a heavily armoured flying target, fitted with sensors and hit-registering lights, so that air gunners could fire frangible bullets at a real, maneuvering fighter and see their hits flash. No other combat aircraft was ever built to be shot at on purpose.<\/p>\n<p>France flew the P-63 over Indochina into the early 1950s, and 3,303 were built in all. The Kingcobra never became a household name, but it was a capable, characterful fighter that found its fame far from the country that built it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pull\">\u201cThe fighter America built, Russia flew \u2014 and gunners were invited to shoot at.\u201d<cite><b>The P-63 Kingcobra<\/b> \u2014 Bell\u2019s mid-engined oddity<\/cite><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"deepset\">\n<details class=\"deep\">\n<summary><span class=\"no\">01<\/span><span class=\"t\">Why the Kingcobra mattered: the right fighter, the wrong air force<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">\n<p>The P-63 is a study in how much context decides an aircraft\u2019s fate. On its own terms it was a genuine improvement over the Airacobra \u2014 faster, higher-flying and better armed \u2014 but it arrived into a US Army Air Forces already swimming in superb fighters, and so was judged surplus at home.<\/p>\n<p>Handed to the Soviet Union, the same aircraft slotted perfectly into a doctrine built around low-altitude fighting and heavy nose cannon. The Kingcobra is a reminder that \u201cgood\u201d is never absolute for a warplane: it is always good <em>for<\/em> a particular war, flown by a particular air force.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section>\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">Engineering<\/div>\n<h2>How Bell perfected its mid-engine fighter<\/h2>\n<div class=\"cards3\">\n<div class=\"ecard\">\n<div class=\"num\">01<\/div>\n<h3>Fixing the Airacobra<\/h3>\n<p>The P-39 had been fast and hard-hitting down low but hopeless at altitude. For the Kingcobra, Bell fitted a new laminar-flow wing, a more powerful Allison engine and better supercharging, curing the altitude problem while keeping everything that had made the Airacobra distinctive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ecard\">\n<div class=\"num\">02<\/div>\n<h3>Engine behind the pilot<\/h3>\n<p>Like the Airacobra, the Kingcobra hid its V-12 behind the cockpit, with a long driveshaft running forward beneath the pilot\u2019s seat to a nose gearbox and propeller. The layout freed the nose for a heavy cannon and gave superb visibility \u2014 and the pilot boarded through automobile-style side doors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ecard\">\n<div class=\"num\">03<\/div>\n<h3>A cannon through the spinner<\/h3>\n<p>The Kingcobra\u2019s main weapon was a 37 mm cannon firing straight through the propeller hub, backed by four .50-calibre machine guns and a useful bomb load. It was a nose built to smash aircraft, tanks and river craft alike.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"deepset\">\n<details class=\"deep\">\n<summary><span class=\"no\">02<\/span><span class=\"t\">The Pinball: a fighter engineered to be shot at<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">\n<p>The oddest Kingcobra of all carried no guns. The RP-63 \u201cPinball\u201d was a flying gunnery target: its skin was thickened into heavy armour, its cockpit and vitals protected, and it was wired with sensors and lights so that when trainee air gunners hit it with special frangible (breakable) bullets, the strikes would register and the aircraft would flash. It let gunners practise against a real, evading fighter \u2014 a role no other combat aircraft has ever filled.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section>\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">Specifications<\/div>\n<h2>Bell P-63 Kingcobra \u2014 by the numbers<\/h2>\n<div class=\"specgrid\">\n<div class=\"spectable\">\n<h4>Airframe &amp; performance<\/h4>\n<dl>\n<dt>Crew<\/dt>\n<dd>1<\/dd>\n<dt>Length<\/dt>\n<dd>9.96 m (32 ft 8 in)<\/dd>\n<dt>Wingspan<\/dt>\n<dd>11.68 m (38 ft 4 in)<\/dd>\n<dt>Empty weight<\/dt>\n<dd>~2,890 kg (6,375 lb)<\/dd>\n<dt>Max takeoff weight<\/dt>\n<dd>~4,760 kg (10,500 lb)<\/dd>\n<dt>Max speed<\/dt>\n<dd>~660 km\/h (410 mph) at 25,000 ft<\/dd>\n<dt>Service ceiling<\/dt>\n<dd>~13,100 m (43,000 ft)<\/dd>\n<dt>Range<\/dt>\n<dd>~720 km (450 mi); more on drop tanks<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"spectable\">\n<h4>Powerplant, armament &amp; programme<\/h4>\n<dl>\n<dt>Engine<\/dt>\n<dd>Allison V-1710-117 V-12, ~1,800 hp<\/dd>\n<dt>Armament<\/dt>\n<dd>1 \u00d7 37 mm M10 cannon (hub) + 4 \u00d7 .50 in MGs; up to ~680 kg (1,500 lb) of bombs<\/dd>\n<dt>First flight<\/dt>\n<dd>7 December 1942<\/dd>\n<dt>Built<\/dt>\n<dd>3,303 (1943\u20131945)<\/dd>\n<dt>Operators<\/dt>\n<dd>Soviet Union, United States, France<\/dd>\n<dt>Cost per flight hour<\/dt>\n<dd>Not recorded \u2014 retired after WWII \/ early 1950s<\/dd>\n<dt>Variants<\/dt>\n<dd>P-63A \/ P-63C; RP-63 \u201cPinball\u201d manned target<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"deepset\">\n<details class=\"deep\">\n<summary><span class=\"no\">03<\/span><span class=\"t\">A fighter shaped by Lend-Lease<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">\n<p>Because the vast majority of Kingcobras were built for export to the Soviet Union, much of the type\u2019s service data comes from Soviet rather than American use.

But it fired slowly and carried little ammunition, and it was never the dedicated armour-killer of legend. Like the Airacobra before it, the Kingcobra was first and foremost an air-fighting machine that happened to carry a very large gun.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mscard\">\n<div class=\"tag\">Indochina<\/div>\n<h4>France\u2019s postwar Kingcobras<\/h4>\n<p>After the war the P-63 found one more operator \u2014 France, which flew it over Indochina into the early 1950s.<\/p>\n<details>\n<summary>The full story<\/summary>\n<div class=\"full\">France received over a hundred Kingcobras and used them for ground attack in its long colonial war in Indochina.

country that built it, and most of its war service was in Soviet hands, in a theatre and a style of fighting far removed from Bell\u2019s drawing board in New York State. Its numbers tell a story less of aces and kills than of production, Lend-Lease and adaptation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"combat\">\n<div class=\"cstat\"><b>3,303<\/b><span>Kingcobras built (1943\u201345)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"cstat\"><b>~2,400<\/b><span>shipped to the Soviet Union under Lend-Lease (~73%)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"cstat\"><b>0<\/b><span>combat missions flown by the USAAF<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"cstat\"><b>37 mm<\/b><span>cannon firing through the propeller hub<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"margin-top:26px;font-size:14.5px;color:#454e5e\">Soviet combat records for the P-63 are incomplete and sometimes contradictory; the figures above reflect commonly cited production and delivery totals rather than a detailed tally of sorties or victories.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section id=\"faq\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">FAQ<\/div>\n<h2>Bell P-63 Kingcobra \u2014 questions &amp; answers<\/h2>\n<details open=\"\">\n<summary>Can you fly a Bell P-63 Kingcobra today?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">\n<p>A small number of P-63s remain airworthy and appear at airshows in the United States, but there are no public Kingcobra flights. If you want to fly a real fighter yourself, MiGFlug offers cockpit experiences in genuine jet fighters you can actually strap into.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Why didn\u2019t the USAAF use the P-63 in combat?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">\n<p>By the time the Kingcobra entered production in 1943, the US Army Air Forces was already well supplied with P-51 Mustangs and P-47 Thunderbolts, which had the range and high-altitude performance it needed. The P-63 offered no decisive advantage, so it was passed to Lend-Lease rather than into American combat units.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What was the RP-63 \u201cPinball\u201d?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">\n<p>The RP-63 was a heavily armoured, unarmed Kingcobra used as a manned flying gunnery target. Trainee air gunners fired frangible bullets that broke apart on impact, and sensors and lights registered each hit \u2014 letting crews practise against a real, maneuvering fighter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Did the Soviet Union like the P-63?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">\n<p>Yes. Soviet pilots had already embraced the earlier P-39 Airacobra, and they took to the larger, higher-performing Kingcobra as well. Most P-63s served with the Soviet VVS, and they saw action in the Far East against Japan in August 1945.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What was the difference between the P-39 and the P-63?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">\n<p>The P-63 was a larger, more powerful development of the P-39 with a new laminar-flow wing and better supercharging, curing the Airacobra\u2019s weak high-altitude performance while keeping its mid-engine layout and 37 mm hub cannon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<div class=\"ad\">\n<div class=\"adin\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">Fly a Fighter Yourself<\/div>\n<h2>You can\u2019t fly a Kingcobra \u2014 but you can fly a fighter jet<\/h2>\n<p class=\"adp\">The Kingcobra\u2019s war belongs to history, but the thrill of flying a real fighter doesn\u2019t. With MiGFlug you can strap into a genuine jet \u2014 from the L-39 Albatros to a MiG-29 at the edge of space \u2014 with an experienced fighter pilot beside you.<\/p>\n<div class=\"car\"><button
