Roland_HUNter Posted June 1 Posted June 1 Hi all, I noticed that the Bf 109 G-4 has a higher stall speed than the G-6, G-6 Late, G-6/AS and even the G-14. Does anyone know why? Is this historically accurate, or could it be a mistake in the flight model? Thanks in advance! G-4: Indicated stall speed in flight configuration: 165..175 km/h Indicated stall speed in takeoff/landing configuration: 154..167 km/h G-6: Indicated stall speed in flight configuration: 160..177 km/h Indicated stall speed in takeoff/landing configuration: 153..169 km/h G-6Late Indicated stall speed in flight configuration: 161..179 km/h Indicated stall speed in takeoff/landing configuration: 153..170 km/h G-6AS: Indicated stall speed in flight configuration: 163..180 km/h Indicated stall speed in takeoff/landing configuration: 151..163 km/h G-14: Indicated stall speed in flight configuration: 164..181 km/h Indicated stall speed in takeoff/landing configuration: 156..172 km/h
AndyJWest Posted June 2 Posted June 2 Why? Weight? About the only factor that would make any real difference, I'd think. Maybe its a typo though. Good luck trying to measure stall speeds consistently to the sort of accuracy required to say which was wrong.

1CGS LukeFF Posted June 2 1CGS Posted June 2 The point has been made - there is no point in worrying about an infinitesimal difference in stall speeds.
