Re: Kawasaki Ki-61 - Ha40 vs DB601

Performance and reliability are two different things. The aircraft would have performed the same with either the Ha40 or DB 601, 1150hp is 1150hp no matter which engine supplies it. Same power to weight ratio, etc..

Perhaps the aircraft could have been more reliable with the DB 601, but we'll never know.
