if 2strokes engines are allowed, then i'll go for the me-262 with it's 2 Riedel engines.....

Germans stats shows the b17 needed 4 30mm and 20 20mm bullets to go down (not flyable). The 30mm were one hit one kill on the small airframes. https://imgur.com/gallery/HkGqW

Thank you!!! it's sooo more than expected . :notworthy:

Hi, Everything is in the title :D Searching for the Welland and Derwent production list, 1944-1946, monthly production if possible. Is this kind of document actually available somewhere? Does it actually exist? Thank you.

Hi, Hope the necro-posting is allowed here ... Actually i had the same question here as Tomo. I found this thread while searching for my answer, but couldn't find it in other posts, so let's dig out Micheal Jackson and play thriller So: From When was the M45 allowed for 12 Boost and from when...

In this case: Fw-190. Case closed ;)

Don't want to be too pedant here or anything like that, but just for the sake of facts: there were never 225 spit pr19 operational before the Vday (8may45). 225 is the total production number (april44-Oct45) With a fast look at the production list, there were maybe 20/30 assigned to squadrons...

Hello, Just because i'm totally clueless in aerodynamics :) How can you determine the instanteneous pull acceleration? ...please use simple words :D Thanks

Indeed, it's a great read, now need to find the time to read the p51 vsaero simulation provided on pg1, even if i know i won't understand half of it, i'm sure it will be interesting. The goal of my request was actually fw190 related.(that why i hijacked the thread, maybe i should have use the...

Bingo! (thanks for finding it for me :salute: ) Yes, this is the one.

Hello, Just a question (sorry for the little thread hijacking): are you the person that also made the comparaison of drag between the spit9/fw190a+d/p51B and another one i forgot , a few years ago?

Sorry to hear that, those weren't pleasant times. corrected the "definition"

If you go against fighters, Mg151/20 any day, if you go after heavy targets with low maneuvrability, mk108 anyday. I don't think it was a question of preference, but a question of mission type and/or availability at geschwader level. If you want some more personnal answers from real pilots...

Let's split a little, Fastest airplane: *altitude. Let's have some alt-range. 0-5000ft/ 5000-10000ft/etc. A plane build for low alt's sucked at high alts (mostly) *Time frame: for europeans, WWII OFFICIALY ended on 8th mai, Americans on Sept2. *Forget protos, forget those. Let's take only...

This Monstruosity looks like the fan on the 190V1. Didn't work better than a naca cowl with the small fan. Fan that was used for cooling oil (see my previous post), cooling cylinders and force air for admission. It was unique, show me another cowl engine on an operation craft designed to do the...
