The E-1 was then still under developement and came out much later.

They have flown 493kmh at altitude of 440m, which was not yet corrected for German Standard Day conditions or the Guaranteed output of the engine. Bench tests confirmed engine was developing 45 PS less than it should have.

No anykind mispresentation there, 485kmh at 0m can be read directly from the chart and calculation is based on density 1.175 kg/cubic meter.

These engines do not have gear change nor pressure drop until FTH. Only a altitude range where the supercharger speed is variable.

Regarding the rest, many organisations have done tests poorly or intrepeted tested data poorly. You just pick the ones which suit to your agenda.

Over and out until something relevant is posted.
