Title: Did wartime FW-190A-3 to A-8's engines evolve?
Post by: 1K3 on November 09, 2005, 09:12:04 PM

Im sure 190A-9 had different radial engine but im not sure whatever happened to 190s A-3,4,5,6,7,8 when it comes to engine development.  The sources i've read so far indicates 190s A3 to A8 usedd BMW 801D...

I'm pretty sure Crummp has covered this subject - try a search for his posts in Fw 190 engine related threads. :)

Like most engines, they got tuned up to the limit. Crumpp has about the best data you can find within this forum and maybe he'll save some searching and provide a link. ?

It is kind of scattered all over the forums Angus.

I am in the middle of writing an article on the development of the BMW801 series.  When I finish I will post a few highlights here.

All the best,

Crumpp
