Hi Niklas,

>Those are the charts from buch2k´s webpage which shows a G-10 (Note also the critical altitude. With over 7000m it would be pretty high for a 1,8x or 1,9x boost)

You're right. The shape of the curve isn't idicating MW50 use, either.

What's more, I'd say that the Me 109K-4 in the above graph with its critical altitude of close to 9 km must be equipped with a DB605AS engine, while the Me 109G-10 probably has a regular DB605D engine. Griehl metions that the Me 109G-10/AS was produced before the DB605D became available, while the Me 109G-10 with the DB605D was fitted with MW50 injection as standard.

The late Messerschmitts were so much faster than the early ones that it was considered to redesign the plane for a lower angle of incidence. This was never carried out though.

By the way, do you happen to know the angle of incidence (Einstellwinkel) for the Focke-Wulf fighters? I've been looking for that one with no success so far.

Hi Funked,

Thanks a lot! :-)

Just to make sure I understand it correctly: The angle of incidence at the wing root is 2 degrees, right?

Regards,

Sure looks like 2 degrees to me!
