So the claim is they were attempting to reach IAS's based on official figures which were actually TAS's, so what official sources were they using and did those sources not explain wether the speeds were IAS or TAS? or are 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.

http://www.rafmuseum.org.uk/london/c...unter-fga9.cfm

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'
