I realize that this is for the F-4 but it should be in the ballpark for the 601N engine and should give a good approximation of what can be expected of the F-2. If one cruises at 0.65 ata at 7km you have about 265 liters of fuel available to you after warm-up and taxi/take-off, and fuel to...

Greg I posted the FM here since 2007: http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/other-mechanical-systems-tech/f8f-bearcat-8251.html#post252299 Here is the engine portions of the manual

Here is some more info on the Sea Hornet and Hornet Mk1

Here is a TAIC cheat chart for those that don't want to do the math. further discussions are here: http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/engines/ata-inches-hg-26858.html

Here is the Take-off, climb and landing chart from the FM Sorry it is a bit blurry. Also remember that the climb is usually scheduled at Military Power and not WEP.

The F8F manual I posted a while back is here: http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/other-mechanical-systems-tech/manual-index-american-36322.html and also some USN charts of the F8F-1 and -2. Enjoy

I'm just waiting for six BMW-801's to show up for sale on ebay from Uruguay!!!

I think the historical route was correct to move to the MB5 and the Griffon

I thought this would be the right spot for these documents. Enjoy!

Kind of looks sexy

Here's the charts for the P-39D with two engine options

Is there something that indicates the altitudes are with or without RAM?

Would you have a source that has the correct information?

Here's a comparison of the engine charts from the flight manuals. The military power recommended duration on the V1710 is 15 minutes and the V1650 is 5 minutes. A clear advantage of the V1650 in military is an increase in critical altitude by over 6000 feet. Of course the V1710 is the without...

Well climb and speed are only a few of the factors involved in determining maneuverability. It would appear at face value that the P-39 has the advantage but I would suspect the F4F is the more nimble due to a lower wing loading and able to easily out turn the P-39. The P-39 probably bleeds...
