Hi again,
Olefebvre, just to make sure I got it right: the clearence you menttion above to 1.42 ata is for the DB 606A series? I know other 605 variants were cleared for the higher boost pressure but I just want to make sure we are talking about the G6 engine?
Juha, I think you may be right about the gun gondolas but I do not know either. The document I referenced to above contains a chart showing the speed difference for a 109 K4 with and without gondolas. The speed difference is about 9.5 km/h at s/l and about 11 km/h at 9.5 km altitude and I guess the gondolas would have similar or less impact on a G6 considering that a K4 is a much cleaner a/c aerodynamically.
For the K4 the test figures are W=3330 to 3370 Kg without gondolas and W=3450 to 3570 Kg with gondolas. The G6 is pegged at 3350 Kg in the test but I have no detailed knowledge on G6 weights. Perhaps it can be deduced from the weight stated if this is with or without gondolas but since fuel status and other variables are not given in the chart I do not know. Perhaps someone in this forum can help out here?
Regards,
Anders
