I know some did thoughI was referring to the Mosquito having engines of 1150HP per engine and not every model of the Corsair had a top speed of 440 mph
Actually the F4U-1A had a top speed of 417 mph. F4U-4 had a top speed of 446 mph. The F4U-5, 470. The AU-1 389 mph.I know some did though
446 fast enough to make as one of the fastestActually the F4U-1A had a top speed of 417 mph. F4U-4 had a top speed of 446 mph. The F4U-5, 470. The AU-1 389 mph.
No - it was up there but there were several that were faster and if you read this thread you'll see that. And you also have to consider the model and when it saw action.446 fast enough to make as one of the fastest
I did read it thats why i made my entryNo - it was up there but there were several that were faster and if you read this thread you'll see that. And you also have to consider the model and when it saw action.
Well if you read all the way through you'll find...I did read it thats why i made my entry
Never knew the the Spiteful was so fast.
I did know a Spiteful went that fast, but it was the Spiteful XVI, with a Griffon 101 with a three speed supercharger. Most Spitefuls and Seafangs were rated at 475mph. Could 150 octane fuel be involved?Well if you read all the way through you'll find...
P-47N 460
P-51H 487
Spitfire F Mk 24 454
Ta 154H-1 472
Do 335 474
F7F - 460
Spiteful F Mk 16 494
There's a few more...
I would guess that with the exception of the Spitfire F24, all of these aircraft are running on 150 octane fuel and/or methanol/water injection.
Good idea you need a little respite from this.So in Spite of not having ADI, the Spiteful was still exceedingly fast...
I'll get my coat...
Shouldn't that be "res-Spite"...?
We're stuck in a spiterweb of puns! God help us!
Your mistake was not using the red tape.Seam putty and gloss paint helps but it's not going to buy you THAT much. At Reno we tapped up seams with "100 MPH tape" and got an extra 5 mph in most cases.
Well, you should have used "300 mph tape" instead, just imagine the net gain if you had!At Reno we tapped up seams with "100 MPH tape" and got an extra 5 mph in most cases.
Note that there was just one Spiteful XVI built and it didn't hit 494 until 1947.Well if you read all the way through you'll find...
