Aircraft Identification V

[the lancaster kicks ass]

at full combat spec.??

even if it is advanced, 2x the engines for an extra 100hp will not push it over 500mph, i mean that's the weight of two engines and the extra fuel........

 

[cheddar cheese]

Yep...I've been through all this before...

- The engines are made from magnesium i believe and are very light.

- The contra-rotating props give about 15% more efficiency than a single propellor. So 2x450*1.15=1035hp.

- The tail area is negligible. There are no bulky radiators.

- Forward swept wings give more streamlining. ( c. 5-8degrees)

- Short span cuts down drag, but lessens maneuverability.

I have a rough spreadsheet for building your own aircraft on excel. On this the estimated top speed is about 530mph@sea level.

Lanc, does your cornish pasty have carrots?

 

[cheddar cheese]

Magnesium engines? Sweet...

From that French site. Aluminum engine block, magnesium other bits. This is what happens when you work from memory.

I think the aircraft is beuatiful. I really wonder how she would have panned out as a fighter.

The engines in the Model 100 are not "simple" T50B engines! The T50B was too heavy, the aluminium block had to be redesigned and recast in magnesium. Also a special, leightweight, Roots supercharger was fitted. In the picture the engines can be seen, in the plane.

Pretty good I think. Obviously performance would have deteriorated with added guns etc but it would be among the elite.

 

[JCS]

Try this one....

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

It looks like a development of the Mig-17. Maybe a prototype.

 

[cheddar cheese]

Yeah it does look like a MiG-17 prototype. I thought that was a radial engine at first

 

[JCS]

No, its not a MiG......

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Well its obviously Russian and it looks like a Mig. So in that case I am expended.

 

[cheddar cheese]

Some sorta Lavochkin? or Yak?

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Im going to go with Yak.

Nice siggy.

 

[JCS]

Some sorta Lavochkin?

Yup 8) Now whats the model?

 

[red admiral]

Lavochkin La-200 all-weather fighter.

 

[Smokey]

What is this?

As an aside, you may not want to post an image directly from another website... especially when the filename of the image includes the name of the airplane...
