Me-109G6.
Kurfrst - Flugleistungen Me 109G - Baureihen
3,350kg. Loaded weight. Armed with 2 x MG131 plus 1 x MG151.
215kg. Additional weight for 1 x MG151/20 under each wing.
I could not find a Luftwaffe data sheet for an aircraft armed with 3 x 30mm Mk108 cannon. However the weight difference would be small.
30mm Mk108 cannon weight = 58kg.
20mm MG151/20 cannon weight = 42 kg.
So.....
Loaded weight with 3 x 30mm Mk108 cannon should be about 3,600kg.
Spitfire Mk IX.
Spitfire Mk IX Performance Trials
7.450 lbs. Loaded Weight.
P51D.
North American P-51 Mustang - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
9,200 lbs. Loaded Weight.
The Me-109 and Spitfire weigh approximately the same. Both have an excellent power to weight ratio compared to contemporary fighter aircraft like the P-51D.
