Stall Speed Bug?
« Reply #75 on: February 11, 2007, 02:36:33 AM »
I have updated all the calculations to include the effect of the lift component of thrust.  It didn't change the values I calculated for the F4U-1, which still then has excellent correspondence with AH.

For the P-38, I only have power-off data, so it's calculation is not affected, and it remains not as close in AH compared to pilot's manual for power-off, dirty.

Here's the new writeup with the new contributions from thrust.
