They are two very similar fighter planes used by the RAF during World War 2 but designed and built by different firms. Hawker's "Hurricane" had good maneuverability, and was armed with 4 20mm cannons. It's top speed was 340 MPH. The Spitfire had superbmaneuverability, was armed with 4 .303 machine guns and 2 20mm cannons, and had a top speed of 378 MPH. Both were excellent fighter planes. The Spitfire got "better press", but in truth 60% of the German planes shot down in the Battle of Britain were shot down by Hurricanes.

Was the spitfire better than the hurricane?
the hawker hurricane was the most commonly used aircraft of the RAF (Royal Air Force) and was the one that shot down most enemy aircraft during the Battle of Britain in the Second World War shooting down at least a 60% of the enemy planes. It consisted a single seated aircraft with a solid base with machine guns, designed and invented by Hawker aircraft ltd in 1930. However the Supermarine Spitfire was a newer invention and was a more maneuverable and was quicker and more lethal,designed and produced by Vickers Armstrong in 1928. It could easily match a german Focke Wulf or a Messerschmidt. It had a better visibility in the cabin and was the favourite of any pilot who flew it. Despite its advantages over a Hurricane, less were produced. So in conclusion I would say that the Supermarine Spitfire would be better.
