Ok, here we go, I belive the roll speed of the 109 E4 is wrong, judging from RAF test pilot notes and numbers, together with French test pilots notes.
Numbers first, posted them in another thread aswell.
Maximum Sideways force average pilot can apply to stick:
109 E: 40
Spitfire Mk1: 60
Time to 45 degree bank at 400mph:
109 E: 4 seconds.
Spitfire Mk1: 4 seconds
Corresponding Aileron Displacement: 109 E: 1/5
Spitfire Mk1: 1/5
Kb2 at 400mph:
109 E: -0,145
Spitfire Mk1: -0,14
Wing Span Feet:
109 E: 32,4
Spitfire Mk1: 37,0
Aileron Type:
109 E: Slotted
Spitfire Mk1: Frise
% Balance (area ahead hinge/ total area):
109 E: 21,6
Spitfire Mk1: 27,5
Total Aileron Area/gross wing area:
109 E: 0,0655
Spitfire Mk1: 0,078
Max Stick travel in:
109 E: +/- 4
Spitfire Mk1: +/- 8
Max Ailerons Angles up in degrees:
109 E: 25
Spitfire Mk1: 25
Down:
109 E: 13,5
Spitfire Mk1: 19
Bellow, is what the test pilots had to say about the ailerons/ailerons effectiveness.
Aileron Control is very good at low speeds, there is positive feel and a definite resistance to stick movement.
As speed rises the ailerons gradually become heavier but retain exelent response, being at their best between 150 and 200mph. Between 200 and 300mph they become noticeably heavier and over 300mph become too heavy for comfortable manoevering. Over 400mph the pilot can exert up to one fifth aileron using his strength.
Throttling back will not alter effectivness of ailerons at any speed. At low speeds lowering the flaps (ailerons come down 11 degrees with flaps) results in the ailerons becoming much heavier and slightly reduces their effectiveness.
The ailerons can snatch as the wing tip slots open. This is pronounced during manoevering. For instance is the stick is pulled back during a tight turn, producing additional 'g', the slots will open at high airspeed. As they open the stick will snatch latteraly through several inches in either direction. This snatch is sufficent to spoil a pilot's aim during a dogfight.
