How were they faulty?the a/c in the test on Mike's site suffered from a faulty batch of engines and gear issues, something which is noted in the documents.
Sad to say but its the p-51
What was the power output of the Mustang when using 150PN fuel?
The only data I have is for the RM14SM
WEP, 150PN: 2080hp @ 3000rpm @ 80"hg (25lb boost); 1850hp @ 22,500'
What was the power output of the Mustang when using 150PN fuel?
I spent ages going over the various documentation and discussion regarding 150 octane at Mike William's site and you know what I came up with? Everybody was still using 130 grade.
I spent ages going over the various documentation and discussion regarding 150 octane at Mike William's site and you know what I came up with? Everybody was still using 130 grade. But I'll tell you what Milosh, I'll stipulate that all Mustangs in the 8th run at 80" Hg if you'll stipulate that all Doras in Luftflotte Reich use high pressure MW50 reliably.
Fair's fair. But this still brings us right to where we started, where I said the Dora was a competitive contemporary despite its shortcomings according to both the data and the reports.
Vanir - I thought the same as you - that 130 was used into September - then 150 thereafter.
At our 355th FG reunion last month I cornered the crew chiefs. All recall 150 used from June-July till end of War as well as 1/2 time to run on same plugs w/o replacing them.
150 was in full supply throughout 8th FC by end of July for sure.
