Well, if we have no idea about taper ratio, there is no way we can estimate the e factor with the aspect ratio only. However Badboy's poin't is quite sensible; most rectangular winged WWII fighters had quite similar taper ratio so in many cases generalized formula do quite well.
I have calculated some e factor data from the drag polars I have. These are e factors for whole airplane as Oswald and Perkin&Hage handle it:
Bf 109G, this is from the VL (Finnish State aircraft factory) drag polar:
Cl 0,1 => 0,741658161
Cl 0,2 => 0,798708788
Cl 0,4 => 0,769126981
Cl 0,6 => 0,759747384
Cl 0,8 => 0,787352739
Cl 1,0 => 0,769126981
Cl 1,2 => 0,713350597
Cl 1,4 => 0,619327448
The average is about 0,75
I have also a polar from Messerschmitt AG (I had to approximate Cd0):
Cl 0,1 => 1,038321425 (not in average)
Cl 0,2 => 0,83065714
Cl 0,3 => 0,778741069
Cl 0,4 => 0,755142854
Cl 0,5 => 0,70156853
Cl 0,6 => 0,692214283
Cl 0,7 => 0,696955477
Cl 0,8 => 0,692214283
Cl 0,9 => 0,7067566
Cl 1,0 => 0,711179058
The average 0,73
Mustang, RAE wind tunnel data:
Cl 0,6 => 0,789174119
Cl 0,4 => 0,814631349
Cl 0,2 => 0,717431018
The average is about 0,77
I also tried to calculate from the NACA 916 but there is so much varition that sensible analysis seems to be quite impossible; the e factors varied from 0,5 to 1,3 or something.
Regarding prizes; well I think the answer is not possible but in certain conditions it might be possible as Badboy pointed out.
So I think I'll send the prize to Angus and Blogs and Schutt will receive the Bonus, so post your adress and I'll send the docs. If Badboy is listening I can send both documents to you too.
