Re: Performance/Endurance of Bf 109 G-6 during aerial combat - questions for experts!!!

Hello Kurfürst
IMHO not very similar, only fairly similar, after all G-6 had an engine with more internal volume and more draggy airframe. And in the situation Kurtl described ie enemy fighters around, pilots probably would have used higher power and speed than which gave 315km/h even if 109 had very good acceleration. IMHO at least Dauersparleistung 1,05 ata 890 PS at 5700m giving probably around 500km/h TAS and consumpting 250L/h.
