How many rounds of ammunition can a spitfire pump out in 5 seconds?
With .303 ammunition the Spit could fire about 750 rounds in 5 seconds. Since there were only 2400 rounds total it didn't take long to use them all.
I do not have the info for cannon armed Spits but those in service at the end of the war carried enough heavy mg and cannon shells to fire for approximately 1.5 mins.

I visited the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum at Dulles Airport in September 2011 and happened to see the fuselage of the He-219 over to the side, almost hidden away. I was surprised to see it as I didn't know it was there. The fuselage and tail looked complete on the outside and the engines and most of the engine nacelles were there. All of it was painted with a black undersurface and a light blue(or green) upper surface with dark splotches.
The He-129 "Owl" was the first ever aircraft designed and built as a night fighter. It was a German WW2 twin-engine aircraft that is "similar" in size and shape as the German Dornier Do-17---as a comparison. It had radar for flying and locating Allied aircraft at night. Some had guns that fired vertically so they could fly under an Allied bomber and shoot it down.
What fuel is used in airplane?
Piston-engined airplanes run on avgas, which is very similar to automotive gasoline, but higher octane.
Turbine-engined airplanes like jets, turboprops and many helicopters run on jet fuel. Jet fuel is very similar to kerosene or diesel fuel, but is highly filtered and usually contains additives to prevent formation of water-ice crystals in the fuel system.
Will the RAF ever use another bomber?
This depends on the new technologies getting invented and whether RAF can make it's some another type of bomber plane which will be best rated in the world.If they would be successful in making a new high tech bomber,they will definitely use another bomber.

What is the most expensive aircraft of all time?
The Airbus A380
Answer:
It depends on how you do the accounting.
Overall programme costs? Individual (fly-away) price?
The B-2 Stealth is probably the single most expensive aircraft type to buy, with its cost ranging from $700 million to $2 billion depending on (again) how you do the accounting.
By comparison the A380 Airbus is about $300 million.
How fast can a supermarine spitfire fly?

after the tu-144 the crashed at the Paris Airshow on 3 June 1973 - it caused the image of the plane to be tarnished, therefore, no foreign orders were placed for it.
Internally in the USSR the TU144 was too fast and too prestigious, and too expensive, and a market was never created for it. There were limited flights for it, but it also had a limited range, there were plans to make a Tu-144D which is a Dalneya ( extended . long range ) version with new engines.
designs behind this airplane were applied in building the Tu-160 blackjack strategic bomber

Modern Stealth BomberThe B-1A Lancer bomber flew in 1974 . After several program cancellations, the a/c was re-designed to save costs and first production model of the revised B-1B first flew in October 1984. It became operational on October 1, 1986.How was SR-71 Blackbird named?
Originally the aircraft was designated RS-71 to reflect its reconnaissance/strike role. But Air Force Chief of Staff General Curtis LeMay preferred the SR (Strategic Reconnaissance) designation and wanted the RS-71 to be named SR-71.
The finished aircraft were painted dark blue, almost black - to increase the emission of internal heat (fuel was used as a heat sink to cool the avionics) and also to act as camouflage against the night sky. The call sign of the aircraft was "Blackbird".
Yes, they are aircraft and need lubricating oil (and maybe also hydraulic oil).
