power

We keep discussing engine performance. I am researching this in WWII aircraft and I ought to share stuff. I won't go into the math, but the work done by a cylinder doing a single stroke is the volume swept by the piston, multiplied by the presumably constant pressure. Power is among other...

Almost all Italian fighters of the early war years were radials, with the license built DBs available later, they became inlines, eg MC 200 to 202, G 50 to G 55. Do you think the Italians would have stuck with radials if they had engines of sufficient power? Could they have used the BMW 801...

I was looking at the specs for the new Ford class carriers and wondered this; The length was increased to 1500 feet to allow longer catapults for heavier aircraft to be launched. The beam widened to accomodate faster ops on the deck and more hanger space. Maybe even torpedo blisters for more...

On most of the F4U-1 documents that show any sort of power ratings ie. Engine power always refer to a "see paragraph 503a" also a paragraph 551b for propeller specs. The document is SD-261-1D-1B Report No. 6756 for one of the examples. Where would I be able to get this mysterious documents...

Something i have been wondering is how does one gauge a planes full potential performance if it was only ever tested at say "Military" power, but had access, say 5 minutes, to increased boost. In the case of the Spitfire MKii there is lots of good data for 9lbs boost, but the aircraft was...

Does anyone have any idea what sort of performance a four engined He177 would have with Jumo 211F engines? Or DB601E engines? I'm assuming a 1942 operational date. Junkers Jumo 211 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Daimler-Benz DB 601 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I'm assuming...

The following ratings are on either 87 octane (DTD 230) or 100 octane (RDE/F/100) fuel. These also appear to be the reduced limits as the design engine speed was 3,200rpm). Take-Off: 1,800hp @ 3,200rpm, +6psi boost. 3 Minute/1,000ft limit. Maximum Power: Limit 5 minutes MS: 1,845hp @...

The Type 327 was an updated version of the Type 324, which was proposed to the F.18/37 specification which led to the Typhoon. The main difference between the Type 324 and Type 327 is that the former's 12 x 0.303" in the outer wing panels were replaced by 6 x 20mm cannon in the wing roots, as...
