It's not "straining" the engine if that's what the engine has been designed to do. The engineers say "you can run at XYZ power settings for 5 minutes." Why would the RLM pay for aircraft they aren't sure can meet the contracted obligations? They
must have verified that the aircraft can deliver. It's a simple fact, and continuing to cover your ears and sing LA LA LA LA in face of this fact makes me think you are just another forum troll.

No, I never said such thing. I never stated that Mtt failed to deliver what they were legaly bound to. I said they most probably did not perform extensive tests to prove our point. The fact is, no matter what test you look at, no aiframe ever managed to reach the speed in the Mtt chart. That brings you straight back to the beginning of this discussion.

Either they tested enough to ensure the required performance was being achieved or they did not; there is no middle ground. Either the aircraft met the requirements or it didn't. There is no middle ground. You can't say "I'm not saying they didn't deliver what they were required to deliver" in one breath and then say "they didn't do extensive testing" the very next. HOW DID THEY KNOW WHAT THEY WERE DELIVERING IF THEY DIDN'T VERIFY IT WITH TESTING?
And again you're trying to make it sound as if every single test ever conducted on the 109E shows it not meeting proper speeds. Guess what? We don't have the data from every test ever. Stop trying to re-frame the issue based on your agenda.

I'm done engaging with you on this subject. You next post is going to be another one saying that the contractual obligations were actually just imaginary, theoretical numbers and blah blah. I don't have the patience to repeat the same facts over and over and have somebody just ignore it and say "but I think it's this way" so I will leave you to it.
