Hmmm.
P-63A: 360mph at 5,000ft, 410mph at 25,000ft with a 1325hp engine.
P-63C: ???mph with a 1825hp engine! Anyone got numbers for the water injection performance?
-
P-63A had water injection too. Combat Power was 1500 hp/3000 rpm/Sea Level/60" Hg. Combat Power with water injection was 1820 hp/3000 rpm/Sea Level/75" Hg. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
Performance (America's Hundred Thousand, P-63A-8, manufacturer's figures)
Rate of climb over 4500 fpm below 10,000 feet, about 3800 at 15,000 feet, 2800 fpm at 21,000 feet, 1600 fpm at 30,000 feet.
Time to climb to 20,000 feet is a little under 5 minutes.
Speed: About 420 mph at 17,000 feet, 375 mph at Sea Level.
Power Loading: 4.5 lb/hp
Wing Loading: 33 lb/ft^2

I would love to see this baby in AH (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Plus you could skin it in either US, Russian, or Free French Markings.
French would be the best publicity wise, but either way it would be a very capable aircraft that I would fly.
Too bad they canceled production of the D model just as it was starting. Think of a slightly more capable C model, but with a bubble canopy !!
But we'll take the C (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

funked,
Are those the stats on the -63, for real? Wow, never knew it had such a performance punch. The Soviets got them very late in the war, and so they don't have quite the 'charisma' that the -39 has in Russia. I really miss that cannon from my WB days. Talk about economy of force: get in close, pop a 37mm round, paint a star on the cowling (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Those are Bell's figures. The USAAF figures are less impressive but they still indicate it was a little monster. It's pretty similar to a P-51D... minus 2000 lb of fuel!

I'll say again.
IT IS UGLY!!!
Damnit guys, lets get real, is the ugliest fighter plane I've ever seen...
And about A10,if you put an A10 on the side of that monster, the Hog would win a beauty contest!!!
IS HORRENDOUS!!!
-
Ugly is good (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
I do believe RAM is getting Cannon Envy again, at least thats what I think (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

SIGH,no...what do I want a 37mm for, if I cant hit a toejam with 4x20mm?...
Nahhh...bring that ugly thing here...but I wont put a hand over it...its really HORRENDOUS!!!
-
RAM, it is not the ugliest fighter plane ever produced, that honor goes to the I16,which BTW, I WANT! it's sooo funny to get kills 'cuz people fly into the ground from laughing too hard (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

pzvg- "5 years and I still can't shoot"

The I-16 wins a "Miss Russia" beauty contest if it has to compete against P39 or P63...
but its the same, I16 is quite ugly,too...
-
Hmmmm I think it will be nice to chase down RAM's Dora in something ugly. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Hell, if you left, we wouldn't have any really rabid Luftwobbles left anymore since Fishu and Hristos, don't post much anymore.
So I guess we'll keep you around for laughs (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Just to make sure you know, I am just kidding in this entire thread. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

It reminds me of the A-10 because the cockpit is placed forward, it has straight wings, and it's ugly. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

It ain't ugly, it's deco. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

URG....
Somebody shoot dat aircraft down cuz DAMN... Dis plane is ugly. You hear me girlfriend?
No way would I be seen dead in it....

Hey, I like the I-16. Not much hope of getting it, though, Pyro once described it as a "flying potato" on the WB BB. Or maybe that was meant to be a compliment? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
------------------
Rickenbacker
-
Rickenbacker,
I wouldn't worry about the I-16. It'll be here, sooner or later. I'm sure Pyro was referring to it's physical characteristics. Flying-wise is was a rush, and a bit unstable to boot, but in a 190 sort of way.
BTW, is this the Rickenbacker from WB Royal Knights (~RK^) days? If so, this is ol' batu here (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
