P-40 Operational Altitudes.
« on: October 09, 2011, 10:15:14 PM »
Since the new P40's have come out I may find myself in P40's more often does anyone know the best altitudes or operational altitudes for the P40B/C and P40E/F/N?

Merlin's- High Alt
Allison's- I believe 14K is peak alt.

according to chuck hawks, the p40-e/k/m models reached peak speed 362mph at 15,000 ft. the p40-c 345mph at 15,000 ft. other sites show the p40-b reaching max speed 352mph at 10,000 ft. and the p40-n 372mph at 15,000 ft.

Probably like most early/mid war rides. 12-15k "14k probably being the sweet spot."
