Plane wish - IAR.80
« on: August 26, 2010, 04:16:19 PM »
Stemming from Nemisis' Thread, I was looking into the Romanian IAR 80/81s...  

There are many variants to the plane;  It's a Romanian Born Monoplane, and sexy IMO too!  In service from 1939- 1944 ish?

    * Crew: one, pilot
    * Length: 8.97 m (29 ft 5
    * Wingspan: 10.52 m (34 ft 6 in)

    * Wing area: 17 m² (183 ft²)
    * Empty weight: 1617 kg (3,565 lb)
    * Max takeoff weight: 2,248 kg (4,957 lb)
    * Powerplant: 1× IAR K14-1000A air-cooled 14 cylinder double-row radial, 764 kW (1025 hp)

Performance

    * Maximum speed: 540 km/h (337.5 mph)
    * Range: 1150 km (621 nm, 715 mi)
    * Service ceiling: 10,500 m (34,500 ft)
    * Wing loading: 132.35 kg/m² (27.1 lb/ft²)

+1 would also like the IAR. 80C. Has pretty much the same loadout as the spits V-IX.


And it is sexy. A little reminiscent of the F4U, IMO.

Look a little like F4U and 190.   +1 on this one, we need more diversity of AC/ and countries.

4900ish pounds max weight? Thats bout the weight of a brewster or zeke. The 6 .30 cals would be a major source of frustration.

... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

Again, wrong.   The IAR 81c.

I've championed for this plane, for the better part of 6 years.
