Re: Question about Erla cowling for late Me 109

The Mtt design will have been chosen to provide the desired level of cooling. If the Erla design had the same width but a shallower opening, then the cooling would not have been as efficient and the engines overheated.

I'm not convinced that this can be the answer to what you are seeing.
