N.3171 weighed in at 6,050 lbs. The 73 lb. pilot's armour found on more mature Spitfire Is was lacking. The aircraft was slightly down on power effecting top speed by about 2 mph. The engine limitations for the tests were:- Level Speeds - All-Out 5 minutes limit - 6.25 lbs./sq.inch, 3000 RPM; Climb - 6.25 lbs./sq.in. 2600 RPM Climbing 1/2 hour ...
Audio recording of Spitfire fly-past at the 2011 family day at RAF Halton, Buckinghamshire. The Supermarine Spitfire is a British single-seat fighter aircraft that was used by the Royal Air Force and other Allied countries before, during, and after World War II. Many variants of the Spitfire were built, using several wing configurations.
Apr 07, 2020 · The problem with this propeller was that it was not optimized tor take-off or cruise. Early MK1 models used a two position metal bladed propeller, position #1 fine pitch for take-off, position #2 coarse pitch for cruise, again throttle was …
Jan 17, 2018 · Hi, I am new here, but not new to flight sims or aircraft, I am an aero engineer so I do know about propellers and aircraft. In the Mk 1 I was under the illusion that it was a two position propeller, ie course and fine like the Hurricane Mk1 de Havilland. I am almost certain that in the sim, before it was patched this was the case. Now that I have patched the Team fusion …
65 ktsPower off, gear and flaps down, main fuel tanks full, it stalls at 65 kts, which is ridiculously slow.
Too HARD on the BRAKES can TURN THE SPITFIRE OVER ON IT'S NOSE ! A good LANDING RUN requires about 310 yds and a TOUCH DOWN SPEED of 68 to 70 m.p.h. (just above the stall). From around 1500 ft and as soon as you can see the Aerodrome once more, begin to THROTTLE BACK.Jul 27, 2007

At the start of the war it could be as little as six months (150 flying hours). On average it took between 18 months to two years (200-320 flying hours).
The complexity of the Spitfire's design translated into its production time. The Spitfire took 13,000 man-hours to produce,1 two-and-a-half times as long to make as a Hurricane. It took the Germans 4,000 man-hours to make the equivalent Messerschmitt Bf 109.Nov 13, 2017

Hi,#N#I am new here, but not new to flight sims or aircraft, I am an aero engineer so I do know about propellers and aircraft. In the Mk 1 I was under the illusion that it was a two position propeller, ie course and fine like the Hurricane Mk1 de Havilland.
I have selected both versions (to be sure) and to me it is the exact same pitch response from both.
I've been having overheating issue with Spitfire Mk1. Some games it's fine with even using WEP for long time but some games even on snow maps it's really over heating even at 95% power. I've tried to cut power and shut engine off but when i go above 70% oil temp become red at around 80C and cooks the engine in 1-2 mins.
I run the MkVc on 80% prop pitch, fully open radiators, and mixture ranging from 60-80% depending on altitude.
I've heard that removing the compressor upgrade (unticking the upgrade checkbox) can alleviate a lot of heat problems, like on the He 100.
I guess you could open the oil and water radiators, as well as increasing the mixture? (I've heard people say that the extra fuel can help cool the engine).
I have found a similar overheat problem with the mk2a since 1.77, if I let the oil temp go red around 98-99 C then I notice the temp gauge stays red and gives me the overheat warning until the temp drops below 89C. That is 10 degrees lower than the critical temp.
Is this a bug or is this just how thermodynamics and engine heating are supposed to work?
Been having the same issue. Even running at 85% throttle, MEC water radiator 100% open, (can't set oil radiator), it still overheats and goes red if you've let it go orange.
