190A5 vs 190A8 engine Performance

[Baumer]

I did a chart overlay of the AH speed chart onto the page posted by Wmaker. I did a linear transformation to align the 300 & 400 mph line as well as the 0 & 40,000 feet altitude. The small boxes in the original chart work out to be 2.5mph



All in all I'd say the speed is very close to the 1.58/1.65ata mark. It looks like the largest difference is about 5mph.

One other point I started thinking about last night. Given that it the A-8 has the emergency power system modeled and gives 10 minutes of WEP, looking at the first page of the general section I saw this.



So does that mean the 190A-5 should only have 3 minutes of WEP instead of 10 minutes? I'm sure I'll be tared and feathered now, but I don't have an A-5 manual to compare this to (and it may be a non-issue).

what about the weight differences that was mentioned in the other thread?

Tared and feathered? For what, asking a valid question? I don't think there's that kind of fanboys in this thread. 

"By August 1943 the Reichsluftfahrtsministeriem (RLM) was satisfied with the reliability and performance gains of C-3 injection and ordered that an instruction be written for the Fw 190 A-4 Aircraft Handbook. The C3 injection could be used continuously for approximately 10-15 minutes."

Quick question fellas...is the data (test documents and production data) on http://www.wwiiaircraftperformance.org/ considered valid in discussions like this one?

If anyone wants a scanned copy of a 190-A5/A6 pilots handbook here you go (caution it is in German): FW190-A5/A6 Pilot Manual PDF

Nice find Gyrene on the A-5 and A-6 - I'll trade ya the Luftwaffe September 1944 FW 190 A-8 Manual at this location:

I may be mistaken but I seem to remember several people giving references (on the forum) to 190 engine data as it is modeled here in AH - is this from personal tests? or is it readily available ?  Where is this available and what are it's documented sources??


....cheers eh!
