Nice Help page Ronni.
In particular I like the aircraft descriptions and attributes.
A couple of suggestions though.
1.) Swap the X and Y axis on your performance graphs. In just about every performance chart I have ever seen, altitude is on the Y axis, and yours is on the X. It makes things look really funny. It should be a easy change in Excel.
2.) Add another performance chart that plots Turnrates (degrees/sec) vs Altitude for a 360 degree turn at cornerspeed. This gives pilots an idea of the relative turning ability of their aircraft.
3.) Add an instantaneous rollrate vs Speed chart for each aircraft.
4.) Add an acceleration vs speed chart for each aircraft.
5.) Fuel consumption numbers would be real nice too. You currently have the manifold/rpm settings for cruise, max, etc. but you don't have the actual gallons per hour fuel consumption for each of those settings. This would be nice so that pilots can plan missions and figure out how much fuel would be required.
6.) And last but certainly not least
Please provide us with the raw data in a spreadsheet format, that you used to make these charts. This is so that if we are doing an aircraft comparison, we can chart multiple aircraft on the same chart ourselves. Realistically, I can take your charts and digitize the data from them, but this is time consuming and imparts a small degree of error.
With the additional charts, pilots will have all the necessary data to chose their aircraft wisely. Speed and Climbrate are very important, but turnrate, acceleration, rollrate are all just as important.
Great Work, and I hope my suggestions help out.
