Calculating & comparing fighter performance

Hi, fellows,

I'd like to pass these links on to you for pleasure and convenience:

No - I won't tell you what you'll find there. Just check them out yourselves, play around a little bit and, if you are as pleased with them as I am, let the rest of us know about it, too.

Keep on playing, kids!

Cheers,

Montanamotor [:o)]

Interesting site and fun to play with. Just wondering what the source of the information is?

cheers

I agree. What is the source? I have been looking for this info for 30 years and have not really found it yet.

Sources might be believable ... this is great, but I doubt it highly.

Still it IS fun!

Hi, fellas,

I received the links by email myself. They were sent to me by Al Rubenbauer of the american Luftwaffe reenactors group www.luftwaffereenactors.org .

I have compared the computed data to a lot of the other sources availlable to me and, so far, have found no flaws yet.

So, without knowing the definite source of the data (Maybe the "Aceshigh"-headline may give a hint about the source?) I can say that, the shown performance data seem to be quite accurate.

It's nice to see the effects of the several different supercharge-layouts (turbo versus mechanical compressor, different number of speeds of mechanical compressors and respective switching altitudes, take-off-power versus war-emergency-power).

So far, the other data seem to be correct, too.

Enjoy it, and keep them flying!

Cheers,

Montanamotor :)
