Note on the British position error curve.
Which has nothing to do with point I made Neil or the USAAF curve.
It does agree with
British data and is within
another range of percentage error. You bring up the "agreement" clause quite a bit.
You do know that data say within 3% is "good agreement" in aeronautics?
So after all the Allies knew how to measure speed?
What an idiotic statement, Angus. Of course they could measure airspeed and the data they collected is just fine for comparing British curves to British curves. Problem is comparing them to other nations as the scale is different as can be seen in the US Position Error correction.
So when you compare a German curve, US Curve, and British Curve, whose scale do you use and how do you convert?
That is of irregardless of normal percentage variation.
Bottom line...It is silly to compare when the aircraft as close in performance. Your conclusions are just as likely to be wrong.
All the best,
