Re: DB 600 in Bf 109?
Falcon,
Great photo of W.Nr. 1798 which supports the idea that the tunnel intake appeared on at least some of the very early E-1s before it was abandoned. The last Bf 109 E-0 was only 9 aircraft before (W.Nr. 1789) and also it was close to W.Nr. 1800, the V22, (which tested a new intake design closer to the final production model) so it would be interesting to know something about the nine aircraft in between. From an engineering perspective, it would be equally interesting to learn what characteritics of the tunnel design were found to be unsatisfactory and weather or not the switch to direct fuel injection played a part in their decision.
