Ace: "Well I already covered the gathered aspect and how it is unlikely that they would knowing fake the numbers

But I am interested in how you think the numbers would change due to publishing or dissemination?

Do you have an example?"

Note: the spitfire uses a two speed metal prop in this test.

Climb times to 4 km:

Bf 109 E 4.4 min,

Spitfire 5 min,

Curtiss 5.2 min.

Hurricane 5.6 min,


In this test, the data for the spitfire using a two speed metal prop is as follows:

http://www.spitfireperformance.com/n3171.html

5.5 minutes to 10,000ft
8 minutes to 15,000ft

4000m = ~ 13,123 ft


Which is real world data?

Both are real world data

The www.kurfurst.org link does not come up

But I would allways take anything from kurfurst's sight with a grain of salt, he has been know to fudge the numbers in the past

But what does this have to do with the quote you replied to?

I dont see how this is an example of how the data change due to publishing or dissemination

To show that I would expect you to show me some values from 'one' flight test that were changed when presented to someone else

All these two seperate tests prove is there was something different about the 'two' Spitfires or the 'two' test method
