    Why did the FW-190A Series Not Perform Well at High Altitude While the Dora Did?

    Why did the FW-190A Series Not Perform Well at High Altitude While the Dora Did?

    Hi there! I am just asking this question because my memory is a little foggy. Didn’t the A series not perform well above 6000 meters because the Kommandogerat system couldn’t function well at high altitude? Did the Jumo 213 in the Dora have an improved Kommandogerat system or was its horsepower...

    Which WWII aircraft would you choose?

    That’s a tough one! It comes down to either the FW-190 A5 or the A6M3 Zero for me :) Both are timeless designs that have their flaws wn unique flight characteristics. If I had to go to war in it I would likely the choose the 190, if I just was going to fly it for fun it would be the A6M3. If it...

    BMW 801D engine in the FW-190... Some Questions

    Hi all! So I am writing this just because I thought I knew a decent amount about the 190, but today I found some sources saying that the 801D engine ran only on 100 octane fuel? I’m just a little confused as I always thought it ran off of the 87 octane B-4 gas. Another question I would like to...
