Again with the hostile response. Calm it down. You get defensive whenever anyone questions what you say, you don't provide what you expect others to do and you call everyone names when they counter your points or call them out. Play nice.
This is coming from a man who was constantly provoking me with his rudeness. ))) And as soon as he received the same coin in return, he immediately started talking about my hostility.
Stop preaching, better look for some numbers to argue your unsubstantiated statements.
 
It is a totally new independent design, having V-1710 at the initial design stage.
Nope! Nope! Nope! Read the definitive work on the P-47, Warren Bodie's extensively researched book, "Thunderbolt!" It was based on the P-43 which was based on the P-35 which was based on Seversky's two seat sportplane. After the P-43 showed promise Republic abandoned its initial P-47 concept, a lightweight fighter using a V-1710 and enlarged the P-43 with the same arrangement but a R-2800 instead of a R-1830, to make the P-47. FACTS!

I guess it depends on what "enlarged with the same arrangement" means ;)

So if I take a P-35 and scale it up 13.1% I get a P-47 I can drop a R-2800 into ?
Off course the gross weight clean about doubles but what the heck,
Wait a minute, if I multiply the wing span by 1.13 (difference in percentage of the wing span) then by 1.13 again (13% longer cord ) I only get 280 sq ft of wing area, not 300 sq ft.
Is my math wrong or did they 'tweak' the outline just a bit?
Of course the fuselage got about 33% longer (just under 27ft to just over 36ft)

I am so confused o_O
 
I'm sick of the constant bickering, insults, and childishness exhibited by some. It ruins the discussion.

I'm seeing a common denominator here, and in several threads.

Patience is wearing thin…
