Good technical web-site for aircraft

[Guest Barnstorm]

I have not seen this web-site posted on this forum, so here it is. I stumbled across it last week. I has all kinds of comparative data regarding aircraft flight characteristics from WWI to almost current jet fighters. The data contained in the tables is shown in abbreviations, so be sure to checkout or print Appendix B.

That helps, eh.

Hey, that must be the site, I took the climb rate data from - had forgotten, where I found them.

Thanks, Barnstorm- good site!

Olham-

After I saw your posted graph, I thought it may have came from the NASA History site, but I was not sure. I did a search of the site, but could not find the graphed data. I enjoy reading the flight characterisic comparsions between the aircraft and the hypothetical implecations for aircombat. I wonder if the folks building the flight sim mods use this site for data?
