Good day gentlemen,
the only datum about this question that I have is 7.500 meters (25,000 ft.) about the famous "Akutan Zero", as written in the relevant report (page 8).http://www.wwiiaircraftperformance.org/japan/RAAF_Hap_Trials.pdf
I wonder about all other carburetors, if the limit could be the same, higher or lower. I also think that at WWII start, most, if not all, carburetors featured an automatic mixture control, althouh mixture lever was retained just to save fuel in cruise condition. At what altitude the lever was all the way back, or the "auto-lean" function (for carburetors provided with this device) did work?
Thank you.
