From my “mini-archive”

Numbers I quoted above are from the book “Avro Lancaster The Definitive Record” (Harry Holmes, first edition, 1997). So the same source as in the web link.

If... Sorry, some statistics on the Avro Lancaster bomber. At 1941 delivered 10 Lancasters (AVRO at Manchester). At 1942 delivered 688 Lancasters (AVRO at Manchester and Yeadon 516 a/c, Metropolitan-Vickers at Manchester 142 a/c, Armstrong-Whitworth at Coventry 30). Jan 1942 delivered 12...

At 1942 any Lancaster (sixty?!) transferred to USA?

Thank You, very much!

This is not brand new „109“, with new „high altitude“ engines as DB 605AS, or with GM-1 installation, as for Reich Defense. EDIT: All these were powered by DB 605A engines, with 1475 PS (1084,8 kW or 1454.8 H.P.) take-off power at 1,42 ata/1044,5 mm Hg (manifold pressure 41.12 in Hg, or boost...

And this: Bristol 100 ton bomber

Gail Halvorsen’ story is well known.

Rest in Peace, Sir!

Some pages with description for Suisse aircraft engines Saurer YS-2, YS-3 and YS-4. But, unfortunately, only in German language. (PDF files.) https://www.e-periodica.ch/cntmng?pid=sbz-002:1948:66::10 https://www.e-periodica.ch/cntmng?pid=sbz-002:1948:66::24

Rest in Peace, Sir

From the table in post 20 (thank you, Mr. Shinpachi): Data Base: Japanese Aircraft Engines https://ww2aircraft.net/forum/attachments/3-e-jpg.402085/ Max. boost pressure is only +300 mm Hg (1060 mm Hg or 1413 milibar absolute pressure, +5.8 psi boost pressure, 41.73 in Hg manifold pressure)...

I see power curve? http://www.muzeumlotnictwa.pl/digitalizacja_archiwaliow/katalog/2285/18.jpg

In which parameters? In performance, thrust? Fuel consumption? The weight? The reliability and durability? All existing German jet engines - all really produced (!!) German jet engines -, were overcome by Rolls-Royce Derwent I.
