  • P-40 rolled fast but the P-39 rolled faster. FACT

  • Actually, I don't think that is fact.

    The roll rate data I have for a P-39D-1 was recorded as having a peak roll rate of 75 dps @ 235 mph, whilst the P-40 (H81) has a recorded roll rate of 135 dps @360 mph.

    Whilst I don't know what stick force was applied in the P-40, it seems that it was 50lbs for the P-39.

    The improved P-63 had a higher roll rate than the P-39 (peak of 110 mph @ 250mph), but as you can see, it was still below that of the P-40.

  • What brand is the Prop? Nice Vidoe!

  • According to my references, the propeller originally fitted to the P40 was the Curtiss Electric C5315S with 614-1C1.5-12 Blades, and was 11ft Diameter.

    However, according to the original CAA AIRWORTHINESS APPROVAL NOTE (AAN), the propeller used on G-KITT is a Curtiss Electric model C532DF99, 10' diameter, with blade type No. 89303-24. This of course could have been changed since, as this ANN was issued in 1998.

    Btw, a few of the P40's flying today actually use Hamilton Standard props!

  • 1:43 - 1:45 excellent pass

  • Love the P40 WarHawk! One of my fav WWll fighter planes! Thanks for posting!

  • while the p39 had a slower roll rate, the slower speed meant that it actually got to use that peak roll rate more throughout the dog fight. I dont know if you have read "An ace of the 8th" by Norman Fortier but even he said this:

    Compared to the p-39, the p40 handled like a mack truck.....

    He went on to talk about how everything was harder in the p-40 than the p-39....even just climbing to 10,000 feet.

  • U.S.A.A.F US Army Air Force!

  • One word WARHAWK! Kittyhawk to the Brits and Commonwealth forces who used it but strangly New Zealand called the Tomahawk!Curtiss P-40 Warhawk!

  • I'm working on a RC P40 which has a wingspan of 80+ inches
