There was a discussion of what variant of 110 we have now.
It is a rather rare version with N(P) engines which have better altitude perfomance than the standard B1(Ba) engines.
155 produced of which 20 with better N(P)engines.
110 engines:
* DB601Aa
Up to 1,175 PS (865 kW) at sea-level at 2,500 rpm, up to 1,100 PS (809 kW) at 2,400 rpm and 3.7 km altitude, B4 fuel
* DB601B-1/Ba
Same as DB601A-1/Aa for use in Messerschmitt Bf 110 and/or bomber aircraft (different prop/engine ratio, 1:1.88 instead of 1:1.55)
* DB601N
Up to 1,175 PS (864 kW) at sea-level and at 4.9 km altitude with 2,600 rpm, C3 fuel
Up to 1,270 PS (934 kW) at 2.1 km altitude with 2,600 rpm
* DB601P
Same as DB601N for use in Messerschmitt Bf 110 and/or bomber aircraft (different prop/engine ratio, 1:1.88 instead of 1:1.55)
I have no idea what kind of speed difference there is between Ba and P engined 110s. The critical altitude of our 110 is at 20k, so why does the data state that the best power is at 2.1km altitude (6900ft)? It still gives 1,175 PS at 16k so the speed line in lower altitudes in chart shouldn't be straight?
The most common speed for 110 given in various sources state 560kph/348mph. Which engine gives this speed if this is the the most quoted speed? Ba?
Our 109E4 has the A engine?
