I wondered are there any such fighter built by USSR in WWII that were capable to overwhelm P-51 on turn rate, climb rate or roll rate?
I heard that MiG-7, La-7, YAK-9 were outstanding, but don't know their capability for exact.
The most strongest rival the Mosquito will facing is He-219 I think, but what Timmy said is right, so remain the only reason to blame the Mosquito wasn't a fighter suitable to a2a combat would be its made of wood possibly?
Notice we have to use same rule to measure different objects, when we...
In terms of my understanding, Mosquito original was a light bomber. In same way and some time it used to be as night fighter since radar equipped in its nose. But is it a qualified fighter for air combat?
According to my data which unveiled publicly, the top speed certainly is at one altitude not all height. Nothing can be prove according to such speed. If you have those aircraft's flight envelop please share.
The winf load and unit power are two most important specifications to measure how good...
Many thanks for your reply.
As rewards, your comments reminds me of Diamlar-Benz BD606 that He-177 used to drive propeller, which aussi is twist with two engine basically. This associated to cooling problem too, we are well known the cooling problem made alot of trouble to the BD606, the...
The Sabre which was fitted in Hawker Typhoon was the most numbered cylinders piston engine I have known. This cause some question:
1) Are there any piston engine contains more cylinders?
2) The more output power each cylinder provides, the better engine it is, but precondition here is the...
The Spitfire got more power per unite than Fw-190 and its Wing Load much lower than Fw190 how do you guys possibly convinced that Fw.190 are capable to overwhelming the Spitfire?
Above is the wing load ranking list you can see.
Very well, the form has been corrected
looks nothing change.
And I have no idea why the P-51 got so much long range than others? Sorry for lacking internal fuel data.
When we talk about fighters in WW2, the first one jump out from our brain would be P-51 Mustang, the most fierce, powerful, violent fighter for combat in air in that era we will say so.
Yes, the bubble canopy, the rectangular shaped wing makes it seemingly more handsome, neat, proportional or...
I believe that Corsair would carry three dropped tanks as weight as Thunderbolt carried under centre line of fuselage and inboard wing plus four or five pylons for roket at outboard of wing each side. This would be a bit greater than Thunderbolt, if we considered payload.
