For the Mk.XVI you'll need to lengthen the nacelles to accommodate the Merlin 72/76 or 73/77 engines.

ijeremiah - thxs for that!

Im after details of the engines now if anyone can find any ?

This should help. Uses Merlin 73s

thx ! that should help us learn about how one of the engines powers the cabin pressure !

[Th!rdeye]

Well im sorry its not exactly what you wanted. Their is still good info about the cruising, max, and take off Boost rating and RPMs. Not to mention speeds at various alt. If i knew how the FMs work i could provide better info but i don't. What exactly do you want?

Their are charts at the bottom for the XVI using the 73s with 2 50gal droptanks. Also a brief summary of that pdf i linked before

just so you guys know i will be crediting you for your help & info on the release
thx again!

No curves, but this section makes some comments about how horsepower varied with boost level and octane rating for the Merlin 72/76 and 73/77 engines:

[Username]

More figures for the relevant Merlins can be found in this table.

Just to explain a bit more:

The third column shows figures for take-off (Sea Level) power/ take-off r.p.m/max boost at S/L

The fifth column shows figures for normal continuous climb (rated) power/normal climb r.p.m/max boost at normal (rated) power/rated altitude. (All at 'medium' supercharged level, which I take to mean low gear)

The sixth column shows the same figures at 'fully' supercharged level, which I take to mean high gear.

Columns eight and nine give the same measures for the engine running at maximum power ('combat' or '5 minute' rating). Column eight gives the low gear figures for combat rating, column nine the high gear figures.

Where one mark of Merlin has two rows of figures, it's because the engine was run on two different fuels. The octane rating of the fuel used in the test is given in column 2.

User name is it possible to get higher res copies of the pictures you have put up, so i dont go blind when i put my nose on the screen lol

this is all fantastic stuff guys. Now i am hoping not to go and brake the bank and buy some pilots notes for the mosquito, I need some info, i am getting varying amounts of figures for things like fuel and it is difficult to set the weights. I need some accurate sources and the most ideal would be direct from the Pilots Notes. I can go buy them.

I need actual fuel carried, it varies all over the place
weight empty and fully loaded with fuel
wing tank weight of fuel also. i am getting around 320+ for that

Sorry but my request is off topic. However, I think is the best place to do it. It is the same demand as I made for the Me410 project but now I can do it before the release of the mod.

Is It possible to have a note which compile all the sources of information use for the mod design?

Indeed, when I see the Username documentation I am bit confused. First I think it is great a piece of information and might be useful. Then I wonder where the information comes from and their seriousness.
I ask for a readme where all the most relevant sources are listed, a list of the books (title, author, publisher, year), the websites, the manufacturer specifications, the test result, the interviews and others used to create the plane and its characteristics. :roll: I know by experience that it takes time to write a literature review but it's the only solution to show the information research work.

Besides, already thanks to all the persons who will share their information and will help to build most precise planes. :wink:

Taurus i forgot that you asked that about the 410, but out of habit of previous university assignments i have been doing that already, i have a folder with all PDFs used, a folder of bookmarks for all websites used and it books with authors names and text files with info from books. So it would be easy at the end just to put it into some sort of structure of all sources that i have used and i can also grab pics and model data that Jolly has used to build the aircraft. Hows that?

but out of habit of previous university assignments i have been doing that already

Thanks Wolf, I am not the only one to be tortured by the university and the fact that we have to say our sources. Anyway I think this is a good habit and shows all the work done. :wink:

Lol. Sorry about that! I've increased the size now, so hopefully it's more legible.

Re the source of the information, the scans are from 'British Piston Aero-Engines and their Aircraft' by Alec Lumsden (Member of the Royal Aeronautical Society). It took him 30 years to gather all the information and produce the book (published 1994 priced at
