    The VL Pyörremyrsky ("Hurricane") was a Finnish fighter, designed by DI Torsti Verkkola at the State Aircraft Factory (Valtion lentokonetehdas) for service with the Finnish Air Force in World War II. The war ended before the type's first flight and only a prototype was built. Constructed from wood, the aircraft is of sound and reliable design, with testing performance shown to be better than the Bf 109G. Little is known about this Finnish fighter.
