Could anyone point me to performance figures for the Fw-190A9?
Thx

Hi Pei,

>Could anyone point me to performance figures for the Fw-190A9?

There's a Focke-Wulf type overview dated 01.10.1944, signed "Vogtsberger", that indicates 560 km/h at sea level and 666 km/h at 6400 m for the Fw 190A-9 equipped with a BMW801F. That's about 22 km/h faster than the Fw 190A-8 under the same conditions.

However, no Special War Emergency Power values (C3/MW50/GM-1 injection) are given. The unboosted full-throttle height speed of the A-9 still is superior to that of the boosted A-8 (652 km/h).

Ceiling is up to 10800 m from the A-8's 9950 m (though with boost, the A-8 achieved 10600 m as well).

(The Fw 190D-9 is superior to the A-9 in every aspect of performance listed in that chart.)

Thank you Henning!



Get back to your own thread spitdweeb!

Ah, but the D-9 doesn't have 4 x 20mm

Hi Jab,

Good observation! :-)

However, the D-9 had the same wing as the A-8 (or A-9) and could be fitted with outboard MG151/20 (or MK108) as well.

(I think this was rarely done, though. It's my impression that the existing photographs of 4-cannon Doras mostly show prototypes or the rare D-11/D-13 aircraft.)

In any case, the Vogtsberger (or "Voigtsberger"?) table lists the impact the addition of the outboard cannon. The D-9 with outboard cannon lost 10 km/h of its top speed and 0.45 m/s of its climb at at Full Throttle Height, while service ceiling dropped by 150 m.

Even figuring in these losses, the D-9 is still superior to the A-9 in every aspect of performance listed in that table :-)

(I actually checked this before commenting on the superiority of the D-9, but deleted the detailed comparison when I noticed it doubled the take-off weight of my post ;-)

Kelly Johnson would be proud.

The performance numbers I've seen from the A9 and F9, using (F engine wasn't used in operational production planes) BWM 801 TS engines was around 385 mph at the deck. I want THIS PLANE I WANT IT I WANT IT GIVE IT TO ME!!!!!!
