Source?

Source?

Here in the attachments. Source states performance at Military power without injection used.
WEP is easy to calculate since so many planes already use this engine.

I was much more interested in the claim that a cannon was aboard (yes, despite the hollow prop shaft).
What do you mean 'without injection'?
Military power and WEP for German engines - no such nomenclature, BTW.

You know what I mean XD
The prototype wasn't armed. But it could mount a 1x 20mm MG-151

It might perhas be a good idea to use original nomenclature?

Perhaps, if the firewall and fuel tanks were removed.

What's XD ?

I think xd means an expression used in text messages or e-mails signaling happiness or laughter. XD is an emoticon. X represents closed eyes while D stands for an open mouth.

Some versions of text automagically translate certain letter combinations into emojis. "XD" is one such letter combo. "XP" is another. Our text set-up in this forum uses different coding, and our emojis are called up separately.
