hartmann · 01-19-2005, 10:09 AM

Hello,as you see I´m new in the forum, hehehe

. I was looking for this: Can someone provide the specifications about the FW 190 A9 and F9?. It´s a pretty airplane but very little known about this.Thanks in advance

check google search engine

the difference is that the F-9 is that the underbelley was armored unlike the fighter version A-9. More powerful engine thatn the A-8 with 14 blade cooling fan. Most likely wooden prop and blown canopy. F-9 had two inborad 2cm as standard alaong with the bomb ordnance, the A-9 could be fitted with four or two 2cm weapons on the disgression of the pilot and his ground crew.

I knew you would be the guy who could best answer that, Erich.

Erich · 01-19-2005, 12:24 PM

heres a pic of A-9 and crewmen of I./JG 301 in November of 44. thanks to Peter Rodeike..........

sometimes though the metal prop was used and the old standard canopy of the A-8 variant.

A new almost tube like drop tank was also fitted on some A-9's.

Very nice! I always thought the prop blades on the Dora almost looked fake because of their size. Those are some really fat blades!

Erich · 01-19-2005, 03:02 PM

these are most probably wooden which did increase power boost. Fitted first to A-8's, especially SturmFw's

wow i didn't know they were still using wooden props at that point in the war.............

Erich · 01-19-2005, 04:26 PM

Lanc, many of the Doras were fitted with wooden props

wow didn't know that

evangilder · 01-19-2005, 04:36 PM

One of the benefits of the wooden prop, which the Brits used on the Mk. XIV Spitfire, was that in the event of a wheels up landing, the prop blades break off, as opposed to bending like the metal ones and put less stress on the engine. Metal blades will assure a serious messed up engine in that event.

Thanks a lot for your interest! It´s a lot of information.
Another question: I read about the fact that the model A9, having a turbosupercharged engine, (the TU/TS) capable of 2000/2270 hp was able to catch some 680 Km/h at 10000 m, is this true?. Thanks in advance, and best regards.

Im not good in metric but I think 680 kmh is about 420-425 mph...I think the A-9 could do that, yeah

I read some where that the Ta-152 had 2 foot wide blades, which is pretty bigski!

evangilder · 01-20-2005, 02:34 PM

No doubt! They almost look like a characature of real blades because of their width. I guess they don't call them "Paddle blades" for nothing. I would imagine that they would have a distinct sound.

the grand slam lanc and cirtain high altitude high performance mossies were fitted with paddle blades............
