Where do you got this numbers from?

I have another question regarding the XP-72, how is it possible that she was much faster than the P-47D at altitude? If you compare the numbers you will see what i'm talking about.... XP-72 speed: 490 mph TAS @ 25.000ft normal weight: 14.760 lbs power available @ 25.000ft: 2400 BHP @ 2700 RPM...

Very interesting.... looks like a kind of elevator balance

Some more....

Yesterday i made a trip to Berlin Tempelhof, where you can see this nice aircraft. As you can see, the aircraft is not 100% finished yet. Enjoy

Two different intakes for same cooler, extraordinary.... Thanks for your fast response:thumbright:

Hello, just a short one....somebody knows the purpose of the 3rd air intake (marked with red arrow)? blue should be carburettor yellow is oil cooler (Source: made by myself)

Would be nice if you can provide more info about this early Jumo 222 configuration .... Because all variants i ever read about were 2 speeds

Quite intersting graph, 3 speed supercharger with full throttle height of just 5400 m (17.717ft) ? Never read about a 3 speed 222 .....

Have a look here, its about N1K1-J Prototype, very interesting! Kawanishi N1K1-J Shiden prototype Sorry it's not eBay, my fault, one of the admins can move this to the correct place?

Nazis wipe Junkers out of his company and destroyed him, to set a warning example to all the other german aviation pioneers(Heinkel, Dornier,..etc). Like...work with us(Nazis) or you will be destroyed and lose everything.

If you have a closer look to the pictures you mentioned before, it is visible(logical) that the intercooler flow goes through the engine cowl. Because the engine cowl installations have always an air exit flap or gap (behind the exhaust pipe).

Ok, it looks like my doubts are baseless.... I was looking into B-32's manual (FSE-33-1002 Preliminary Erection and Maintenance Instructions for the Model B-32 Airplane) which for comparision is the best choice in my opinion. And it is clearly stated: - aileron tab is for trim and servo...

All those measurements to balance the elevator forces (hingeline) are common practice at this era. But i still have doubts, because aircraft of compareable size and weight need to have balance tabs or springforced tabs additionally. And a lot even smaller(P-61, F4U) used this kind of "power aid"...

Sounds like a plan, one of the CAF engineers should know how the elevator works.
