Ive got a problem When i look up performance of B-135 it states 535km/h. but it doesnt say if it was military power or at War Emergency power. On top of that, not even altitude is metioned - Same goes for its rate of climb 13.5m/s, but is that the initial climb or is it the average of lets say...

Check out the Ki-43-I 2:24 in video View: https://youtu.be/Y8-hoY0DGYg

Also the reason for Ta-152H wing shape

Ki-84 manual states Flaps 0 degrees: 1.46 CL_Max wing lift coefficient Flaps 15 degrees: 1.70 CL_Max Wing Lift Coefficient Flaps 30 degrees: 1.92CL_Max Wing Lift Coefficient

I keep away from biplanes because I don't know. If I don't know the CL_Max of a plane I look up wether it had laminar flow wings or not. If it has laminar wings I automatically assign 1.32 because I know it's roughly going to be in that area and the rough estimate I get will be 1-3km/h from the...

All planes turn their best at sea level because as you get higher the air gets thinner and stall speed increases which also makes wider turn. La's are known to turn well at low altitude because above 3000 metres they lost vast amount of power which meant worse power to weight ratio and that has...

You can calculate the turn rates For example: Ki-84 Loaded Weight: 3600kg Wing Area: 21m2 Air density at sea level: 1.225kg/m3 Flap Area: 2.436m2 Wing Lift Coefficient: (according to its manual) Flaps at 0 degrees: 1.46 CL_Max Flaps at 15 degrees: 1.70 CL_Max Flaps at 30 degrees 1.92 CL_Max...

A7M2 is equivalent to the F8F-1 bearcat. However the Korean Era F8F-1B with greater engine setting (2800hp) was superior. (Obviously cuz it's version from 2-3 years in future) A7M2 at 4720kg load (full fuel tanks) could do 628km/h at 5560m at military power and 6:07 to 6000m at military power...

From Jiro Horikoshi's book (The designer of A5M, A6M, J2M, A7M) All performance is with Japanese 92 octane fuel. The engine wasn't built to run on higher fuel. J2M2: Wing Area: 20.05m2 Loaded Weight: 3210kg Engine: Kasei-13 (1820hp at sea level at WEP / 1420hp at 2,600m at military power /...
