Throwing some light on rates of turn

[Kurfürst]

So what's your point?

Brag about some C++ analysis of yours of which nobody gives a flying frak...?
Generic harassment of Crumpp because a long time ago he dared to disagree with your opinion?
Assuming a hypothetical identity on the internet as an engineer who have been supposedly intimately involved with the design of Gripen?

This sounds like just a perfectly ordinary internet troll to me.

And again an interesting topic wasted on mutual personal disputes. Why not use the extraordinary pn system to settle your issues with certain people and leave the discussion to those who are genuinely interested in the topic?

Because the personal dispute is originated in one party's personal frustration and an acute desire for attention and approval.

All the data tables and graphs refere to merlin XX equipped aircraft.

The RAE's use of a single chart given the absence of any differientiation between power levels makes perfect sense with the Merlin XX predictions.

The Merlin XX was predicted to maintain similar power from sea level to 20,000 feet.

1020 Hp at Sea Level and 1075HP at 20000 feet:

So how does the Merlin XX data you posted above support your 21 s claim?

The Merlin XX is what the RAE refer to in their report R&M 2349 as well. So you both use the same engine data but come to different conclusions.

Why do you agree on the low level results but come to different conclusions for 20,000 ft performance?

Remember the RAE result is that the Spitfire will sustain a loadfactor of n=1.57 (bank angle 51 degress) and turn time 31s at 20,000ft. You get sustainable loadfactor n=2.70 (bank angle 68 degress) and turn time 21s at 20,000ft. Both results refer to the same engine so please explain.

BTW: I note that while you are quick to question other peoples competence and credentials you have not provided anything of substance yourself to back up your claims and it's faily obvious you have nothing to show so I wont press you any more on that.

1. The Merlin XX had a two speed supercharger. The first page you refer gives power at high altitude gear at sealevel due to analysis. See the appendix A at bottom of the second page for power at low altitude gear at sealevel.

2. Even at constant KEAS speed and constant power, the resulting force, thrust, decreases when the altitude increases because force is power divided with true speed. To maintain given angle of bank at given KEAS, power must increase with altitude.

IvanK,
Could you please post parts of the report on turning performance at 20k?

TIA

[IvanK]

This is I think the only relevant bit that includes Sustained turn boundaries for 20,000',25,000',30,000', and 35,000'. "Angle of straight Climb" is Ps=0

Troll huh?

I think that criteria fits better on you yourself than anyone else here:

First of all both you posts are totally devoid of any content other than personal attacks. Secondly, you twist words: I have said I have worked on the Gripen, you inserted the word "intimately" to make it seem like I said something else.

And secondly, I'm not assuming any engineering identity or bragging: I responded to a claim by your 100 octane wingman that I "lacked formal education".

I like the psycological assessement in your last post BTW,"is originated in one party's personal frustration and an acute desire for attention and approval"

Talk about pot calling kettle black.......

What Kurfurst neglects to mention is that he holds a grudge since I after several fruitless attempts to him personally was forced to contacted his ISP provider to remove my research material which he without my permission had marked with his own watermark and published on his site.

Now if you have anything constructive to contribute to the issue of 21 versus 31 s turn time for the Spitfire at 20,000ft then add that otherwize you can just bug off and leave the discussion to the grownups.

Let's see your diploma then.

I don't neglect anything at all, you don't own anything of that paper, and I simply get a feeling of puke when I see posts motivated by your most primitive feelings, the very grudge you wish to attribute to me and your perceivable frustration with life. Grudge can only exist between equals, and so in your case, its despise what I feel.

The papers you have mentioned belong to Stockholm Technical School and you have made unauthorized copies of them from without permission, as you have made it clear in your e-mails (and the fact that later despite numerous request, you refused to name the source), which holds them in their collection. You had become very nervous when I suggested to inquire the place about your activities there and your claim of copyright.

Of your character, it tells me a lot that well until that, you were busy kissing my underside in hope that I'd buy it and fetch some bones for your from my collection. We have traded a few items, and thankfully that's where our contact ended before I would begin to feel filthy.

When that cooperation ended, and your ego was hurt by my posts pointing out your immoral behaviour, you have reacted in the exact manner any dishonest freak would do: attempts at slander at various boards, about your allaged rights to certain papers you took photos off without the permission of their holding archieves.

You have tried to sell that story at various respected aviation communities, at allaboutwarfare.com etc. and other serious aviation sites/forums, where people quickly realized who you are and laughed, in distaste. You then disappeared from all these places, having successfully destroyed your own credibility once and for all. I think the most civilized comment you have received was that your behaviour reveals 'seriously bad taste'.

Your pitiful motive was that I stood up against your constant underhand attack on Crumpp, similar to that behaviour you display here. Your post history reveals that you have only registered here to 'get back' at Crumpp for the humiliating education you have received at his hands previously.

You see, that's exactly what motivates you, an overblown ego of the usual internet troll/nerd, wrapped in pompous sentences, and a made up identity.

Now if you have anything constructive to contribute to the issue of 21 versus 31 s turn time for the Spitfire at 20,000ft then add that otherwize you can just bug off and leave the discussion to the grownups.

Or else what happens you big big grown-up?
