Planes of Fame Air Show 2009

I wish Japanese got hold of the In-line engine line Me109 or spitfire, I wonder want would be the outcome

[ra301]

@MegaARAVINDHAN You mean V, rather than inline, right? They did indeed. You may want to search for Ki-61, which used the same engine as Me109, produced under license. I haven't read many good things about the reliabilities of Japanese liquid-cooled engines (and the planes that used them). Many factors contributed to this, including the lack of critical raw materials (nickel?). The fact that Japanese people had introduced to industrialiazed world just 70 years earlier had to do with this as well.

[MegaARAVINDHAN]

@ra301 Vow Ki-61 ya. I will check that, I thought in-line would generally mean V arrangement. How did u know about this plane. My guess U from japan or a great fan of Zero's. Any how thanks for the reply

does the Zeke and the D3A Val have their original wartime engines?

[nsx4life2008]

@MrJp990 Zeke is 100% original. D3A Val is 100% fake , it's just a T-6 made to look like a Val.

[MrJp990]

@nsx4life2008 Come to think of it, ive seen that Zeke somewhere... I think it was on my vacation from Pennsylvannia to Duxford... I cannot remember though...

[MrJp990]

@nsx4life2008 Oh and does the Zeke have the guns on it still?

[ra301]

@MrJp990 I cannot really tell. The 7.7mm guns looked pretty real from the cockpit.

[MrJp990]

@ra301 hey just as long as its got its sakae 14 cyl. engine

[MrAnton275]

@MrJp990 The Zero has but im not sure if the Val does...

[MrJp990]

レストアされた方々のご苦労が伺えます、本当にありがとうござい­ます、現在の機体強度規格に適合しない為、オリジナルのフレーム­では飛行認可が下りなかった、補強を加え、レストアの出来なかっ­たキャブレターを流用品で作り直し、部品集めに奔走し・・・情熱­以外の何物でもありません、パワー問題でライバル社のエンジンに­換装しなければならなかった皮肉なＺＥＲＯファイターが米Ｐ＆Ｗ­社にまさか２０００ＰＳの要求を出させるとは・・思っても無かっ­たでしょう、正に名機！

ゼロ戦に乗ってたパイロットが見たら、セルモーターは絶対に欲し­かったと断言するでしょう。

多少の重量が重くなっても、前線では重宝したと思います。

[ra301]

@yamamoto285

異論なしです。できるだけ当時の姿で見たいというセンチメンタリ­ズムと、用兵上の利便性は別モンですから。

当時セルがどれだけ使える物だったのかわかりませんが、どれを殺­して、どれを生かすか、設計は難しいものです。

ところで、今年のショーは再来週末です。またいってきます。

[kyafun]

セルモーターがしらけるねー・・・ｗ

[ra301]

そうそう、イナーシャスターターでぶんぶんやって欲しかったです­ね。

[metallicastarwarsfan]

Seeing this makes me wonder why such beauty was put to work in war.
