LW aircraft speed specifications

[JG52Uther]

You two are one step away from a vacation, so cut it out.

[Crumpp]

we suggesting they were too stupid to realise they using the wrong speeds?

So let us all not be so childish or hasty in our judgment of these men. One can be very intelligent and still lack knowledge.



But wait, Sir Sydney Camm is certainly not stupid. In fact he is an extremely intelligent and talented engineer who went on to design such swept wing aircraft as the Hawker Hunter.

When you consider the fact, no other nation on earth had the depth of knowledge or experience in the transonic realm that the German aircraft industry possessed, you cannot fault the men of other nations for knowledge or understanding that is not in their possession.

Have you researched the Vw and Vwck notations, I would really like to hear your input on this matter!

Maybe if you cannot figure it out, these men were not "stupid" and do not deserve such a label?

But hold on a minute here, we aren't talking of entering the realms of transonic flight here, we are simply talking about misinterpreting between IAS and TAS......that doesn't sound credible that they wouldn't be aware there is a difference.

while on the subject of the P.1101.....wasn't it actually very 'useless'

Well, you are pilot.....right??

What do they have in common!!!

Seriously?.....you are still in doubt?

Transonic flight and 'misinterpreting' IAS and TAS.......absolutely nothing.....why?

[Crumpp]

wasn't it actually very 'useless'

Of course, it was German, right??

[Al Schlageter]

So how many hours do you two have and what airplanes have you flown from take off to landing?

[Osprey]

How does Crumpp know that Camm was referring to the wing itself when he was shown it? And how does he know it was the sweep itself that he was referring to as useless? He doesn't, it's an assumption. There is no recording nor official transcript of the conversation to gather context therefore zero proof.

[Crumpp]

absolutely nothing.....why?

Nothing??

Really, think about it, every pilot has to account for it in their flight planning.

We will come back to it and here is a huge hint, if you recognize it.

Tell me, what is the difference between these too formula's?

Both formulat's express the same thing.





I am begining to think the men in the VVS were not so stupid, huh!

You certainly cannot explain it and you are pilot, right?

Yes it was obviously but that's not what I am getting at, I don't have agendas, it was primarily useless because it was incomplete, and any subsequent development inspired by the design were quite changed....almost like everyone who saw it knew there were improvements to be made.
