Author Topic: 109's time to altitude (Read 389 times)

Hello all.
On my evergoing hunt for data and information about various ww2 aircraft, I just found out that I have precious little about the climbrate of the 109. Rather than relying on ft/sec at this or that altitude, I prefer to get my hands on something like weight and time to alt. I am sure there are enough 109 geeks out there to help me, so please shoot;)

I'm metric illiterate.. could someone convert that?

It's easy, just figure 1m for 3ft. It's good enough to give you an estimate.

Hi Munkii,

>I'm metric illiterate.. could someone convert that?

1 inch = 25.400 mm

1 ft = 12 in = 304.800 mm

1 m = 1000.000 mm ;-)

and

1 lb = ca. 0.454 kg

Regards,

Henning (HoHun)
