Stumbled
upon this at ww2aircraft by the user FLYBOYJ... "The engine was controlled by an ingenious, advanced Kommandogerat-a sort of electronic brain box that greatly relieved the pilot's responsibility to control airscrew pitch (rpm), fuel mixture and engine boost (throttle) in combat. In addition, the engine's two-speed supercharger shifted automatically at about 21,000 feet, and •••control of the important oil-cooler flaps was automatic•••, thus relieving the pilot of two more major cockpit duties. The pilot needed only to keep his hand on the throttle and his eye on his assailant. In the heat of combat, it was very easy for an Allied fighter pilot to forget to move one or both of the other two required controls if he needed immediate full power to beat his opponent." He never stated the variant though... I'm starting to get confused now, and more so because now I want to do an all-nighter about the Kommandogerat. ![]() Last edited by War_Emergency_Picnic; 03-05-2013 at 02:35 AM. |
