Author Topic: 109 Flap speed (Read 260 times)

Hehe, again, wanna make sure HTC doesn't miss it.

109's, Atleast E all the way to K's could extend first notch at 220Mph (350 kmh = about 219mph really), fully deployed Max speed was 165.

165 is the speed for the AH 109 to deploy it's first notch. More then 40mph difference.

Bf109 manual can be downloaded here

Wilbus, do you have flap extension speeds for the Fw-190?

While you're at it, could you fix the Spitfire's flap speed as well?

It should punch down in one swift motion, not the slow lowering that we have in AH.

I believe FunkedUp has posted the data for this in the past. I know somebody did.

(This is in revenge for the repeated hi-jackings by LW fans that I have gotten every bloody time I have requested a fix for a problem with an RAF aircraft)

I am trying to find it for the 190 aswell, specially the TA152 since I think (just my thought) that thanks to having hydralic flaps instead of electric, it should be able to lower them in higher speeds, haven't been able to find any info yet though

Karnak, valid request, just hope HTC reads it

Hi Karnak,

>While you're at it, could you fix the Spitfire's flap speed as well?

From the Pilot's Notes for Spitfire XIV & XIX:

"(i) Maximum speeds in m.p.h- (knots) I.A.S.

[...]

Flaps down .. .. .. .. 160 (140)"

Corrected for position error, this is about 163 mph.

Regards,

Henning (HoHun)

Not sure here Hohun but I think he ment the speed of which the flap goes down, as it is now, spitfire flaps go down VERY slow, think Karnak ment that they should more or less drop down.

Not sure though.

Yeah, if you have ever seen the history channel's show about the spitfire, they have some footage of a restored Mk IX spitfire going through its pre-flight, and the guy drops the flaps, and they just go from fully up to fully down in one swift, split second motion - ka-chunk!

Add some air pressure from 100mph+ speed to those flaps and see if they still go ca-chunk.

if a light aircraft manual non electric flaps can go ca chunk at 100MPH it surely can in a spitfire all metal aircraft. Yup flaps do need a revision as I see it most planes deployment of flaps is sort of generic(especially those from LW they drop at the same speeds,cept 262).
