The Tempest was essentially an improved Hawker Typhoon, and one of the most powerful fighter aircraft used in the war. During development of the Typhoon the design team, under the leadership of Sydney Camm, were already thinking of ways in which the aircraft could be improved. This process resulted in the Hawker P. 1012 (or Typhoon II). Although the Typhoon was basically a good design Camm and his design team were disappointed with the wing which proved to be too thick in its cross section and created problems with the airflow and reducing top-end performance of the aircraft, especially at higher altitudes.
