Mosquito FB.VI performances
Hello
It struck me completely but I am unable to find reliable performance figures for Mosquito FB.VI. I am looking for a maximum operational range with some bombs (how many) at what speed and what altitude. Usually only maximum figures are given for each parameter. Thanks |
Franek,
I found some data in the book "2. Weltkrieg Flugzeuge" by Christopher Chant. According to this range is for Mosquito FB VI Series 2: with 4 bombs of 227 kg = 2044 km, with 2 bombs of 227 kg = 2656 km. I have no guess, how accurate these data are. Hope this helps, Kind regards Robert |
Hello Franek,
not exactly what You wanted but Air Int. Feb 83 gives recommended long-range cruising speed 250mph (402km/h) for Mk VI. And more to Your liking in Air Enth.

Thanks, that was what I needed!
