The Messerschmitt Me-108 Typhoon is a German four-seat, single-engine sports and liaison aircraft designed by Willi Messerschmitt. The prototype flew in 1934 and entered service a year later. The powerplant was the Argus As 10C-3 engine with 239 hp. The Me-108 was used by the Luftwaffe as a transport aircraft for senior officers and as a liaison aircraft. One of these aircraft crashed near Mechelen on January 10, 1940, triggering the famous "Mechelen Incident." The experience gained in building this aircraft was incorporated into the construction of the legendary Me-109. Technical specifications: Length: 8.3 m, wingspan: 10.5 m, height: 2.3 m, maximum speed: 305 km/h, rate of climb: 5.2 m/s, maximum range: 1,000 km, maximum ceiling: 6,200 m.
