[Test Pilot]

Your posted data for the A-3 for example is the turkish version Fw-190Aa-3. This version is not equal to the main german A-3.

The US document compars an A-4/U4 fighterbomber with US fighters in early 1944. You do not know the working time of the 190 frame and engine. The main production of the A-4 was between summer 1942 and early 1943.

The A-5/A-6 document is nearly what we have in our sources.


Collecting the performance data took many time and money to buy handbooks, technical books, papers from archives and museums. Concluding from this we are not determined to pass these data to third hands.

Ad. Fw 190 A-3

Yes these charts shown Fw 190 Aa-3 export version for Turkish. These planes have only little difference with non export version: "The Turkish aircraft had the same armament as the A-1: four 7.92 mm (.312 in) MG 17 machine guns and two 20 mm MG FF cannon. There was no FuG 25 IFF device in the radio equipment".

Engine was the same BMW 801 D-2 1.42 Ata 2700 RPM so these version was even lighter then German beacuse no radio and lighter armament.

These planes reach:
0km - 540 km/h
6.4km - 660 km/h



Also Fw 190 A-3 German version without outwing cannos was litlle faster at 20 km/h at sea level and 5 km/h at full throttle height:

0 km - 560 km/h
6.4 km - 665 km/h




Moreover Faber Fw 190 A-3 which landed in UK in very good condtion with derated engine - 1.35 Ata, 2450 RPM was much more slowier then these above.

So i really expect that German Fw 190 A-3 with full rated engine 1.42 Ata 2700 RPM was just little slowier then Fw 190 Aa-3 ( export version) and Derated A-3 was much more slowier beacuse only 1.35 Ata and 2450 RMP. These all confirm data which i present above and RAF 190 A-3 Faber test.


Ad. A-4

Fw 190 A-4 initialy had nealy no difference with A-3 beside radio antena. The engine was the same, performance also was the same.

Late Fw 190 A-4 had manually operated colling slots - so thats way these verion could be some faster then early version with fixed slots. These was the only difference - still engine was the same with the same power.


With all respect i really dont expect that You have more detalied or different German data for Fw 190 A-3 and A-4. I have many technical books, handbooks ( German, UK and others) and really there are not so detalied information and data as in these data which i show. I really dont belive in Your "top secret" data above these which are avialable in internet.

So these graph really ilustrated performance of Fw 190 A-3 and also is adequate for A-4 early
