are the "vorfluegel" modelled in 109 FM?

Hehe... Kurt Tank also reported that he didn't experience any of the effects of compressability during this dive, Wells (the quote translates to "no flutter").

Can you say.... **cough** **roadkill!** **cough**

I think Tank was in the Bob Hoover category as a test pilot.  "No flutter" for him would result in rectal seat cushion ingestion for a normal pilot.  They don't make engineers like they used to.    

Or maybe he had a logbook notation saying "no flutter" but he neglected to write down that there was "scary vibration" and that he voided his bowels.  

Also I misquoted in the previous post.  It was 700 km/h indicated at 6000 m.  I get Ma = 0.8375

Plus, as wells has posted in the AGW group, apparently flutter is not the same thing as mach buffet... that's why I usually leave this stuff to the experts.

Keep in mind this wasn't some sort of special high-Mach test flight.  He was just conducting a "quality control" flight as he did when each new variant reached production.
