Introducing the exciting, classic Proton Bullette, the single seat trainer of the 1930's and 40's. The Bullette was a mix of the best of Germany's
aircraft era, sporting a fuselage that was quite similar to the Bucker Jungman with its bowed down engine cowling, allowing pilots to see over the
cowling much better. The wings were made similar to Junkers swept back wing design. The propulsion was the inverted V-8 by Argus
engine company featuring 245 HP. The front cowling sported the famous scoop shape that was made famous by the Messerschmidt Me-108
and the Fieseler Storch. Lastly, the B-37 model, the first model that went into production, featured flamboyant, full fairing landing gear designs
that gave the Bullette a very 'stylish' 1930's appearance.
The Bullette's cockpit was very tight which would allow only so much room for instrumentation. Some instruments were placed along the
sides of the interior. The aircraft also featured a very small set of wings that were a mear 4.87 Meter / 16 feet wingspan, making landings faster
then your normal aircraft of that era. With that, you had what could be summed up as a Messerschmidt Bf-109 and a Piper Cub, mixed into
one, or perhaps a Bucker / Junkers collaberation to make a mini air-racer of the 1930's.
