Not impossible at all, there are programs that do flight analisys, i.e. Catia, from Dassault Systems.
Maybe i can get enough acess to it for a study of those wings, and use my average knowledge on aerodymanics (I was in a aerospace uni course but i quit).
But if you don't have a performance analysis of the motor then its still useless.
Don't get me wrong. The more planes the better, but these planes are just not worth the time in my opinion. This is one of those things were quanity isn't better than quality.
You can do every aerodynamic test on those models but they will never be correct if you do not have info for the location of the fuel, quanitity of the fuel, oil location and quanity, ammo count and location and any motor related parts. The P47's supercharger is behind the pilot in the mid section, not a common place for it. So you can't really guess about things that like. Those all come together and make up the aircraft's "feel."
Before i make a change i check all my sources for conflicting info. If i cannot find a piece of info about a certain performance feature then it is scrapped and i DO NOT guess. If you cannot find ANY TESTED information on a plane, then it to should be scrapped.
Chaotic's List would be much much shorter if you eliminated each aircraft that had a lack of performance figures....
