Check here - trials with V15a prototype (Bf 109E-1) :

In particular measured, and corrected speeds achieved :



The higher speed figures show the aircraft`s speed at the engine`s guaranteed output - the engine was bench tested before the test and was somewhat down in power output.

But keep in mind manufacturer had +/- 5% tolerance on those speed figures. So production Emils were anywhere between 475 and 525 km/h, this kind of scatter is normal amongst serial aircraft.

Hi,

A new material has been added, a British interception and translation of the original

Technical Sheet issued by the Quartermaster General (AIR Equipment) - DB 605 engine in the Me 109 G. Berlin 18th June 1942.

The new material can be found under the Powerplants section.

A new, very through and detailed British evaluation report on the Bf 109E-3 previously tested by the French in France. This may well be very interesting reading until we get our hands of Storm of War: The battle of Britain, since it is the E-3 type players flying for the Luftwaffe will fly as a fighter.

It has been posted at : http://kurfurst.allaboutwarfare.com/...ls/Morgan.html

You may also discuss the report or my site in this thread: http://kurfurst.freeforums.org/rae-m...s-t70.html#315

We also celebrate our site`s two-year old existence this weekend with a little facelift. Wink

We had in the past two years over 31 000 visitors and over 100 000 individual page loads.

Thank you all for your time, interest and support !

Enjoy!
