Some impressions about a Bf 109 with Jumo 211 F engine.
Avia S-199 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One of the biggest problem was, that with the Jumo 211 it was impossible to install the engine cannon through the prob.
Also the the prob himself makes realy problems.
I could not appreciate if the Czechoslovakia aviation industry have not the ability to produce an other prob for a fighter a/c or if the prob of the He 111 was the only possible way.
Anyway this a/c wasn't realy a winner and the changes were realy big and not real good for the Bf 109.
The 211J was not suitable for the Bf 109 - where to put the intercooler?
Reggiane built a lot of Re.2001 with the italian DB 601.
The loadplan for Ju 87 D-7/D-8 lists a 211J engine but you'll never know.
BTW: D-7 = D-1 with D-5 wings, D-8 = D-3 with D-5 wings.
Me-109s weren't the only German weapons which resumed production in post war Czechoslovakia. They also resumed production of MG34 machineguns, Hetzer SP AT guns, Sd.Kfz.251 APCs and quite a few other things.Czechs were going to build DB engined 109s from available post war parts and production lines but the DBs were lost in a lost in an explosion so they had to turn to Jumo 211s which were made for He111 use.
Jumo 211P was the intercooled variant of the 211N, gaining 50 PS over it. 211J gained 80 PS over the 211F though.
Mounting the intercooler side-by-side with or below the oild cooler results in more drag and speed loss.
The Ju 87 D-7/D-8 loadplan shows a 211J engine and states the wing changed for the D-1 and D-3 models to get the D-7 and D-8.
Autom Schaltgetriebe = automated Low/High gear switching, AFAIR triggered by altitude.
BTW what's a Hetzer? I only know Jagdpanzer 38 (with or without the (t) suffix).
