Helmut_AUT Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 As the title says - I'm not sure on specs, speed at low attitude and so on. I don't want to say what happend either, but I want to verify yesterday's FE2 events with real data. So, which if these two birds should be faster? later Quote
+Tailspin Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 (edited) Flat out, side by side, the SPAD by about 15 mph. Edited February 19, 2010 by Tailspin Quote
+Gr.Viper Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 Shouldn't VIIF beat SPAD at an altitude? Quote
Helmut_AUT Posted February 19, 2010 Author Posted February 19, 2010 Okay, so maybe the fact that low down the SPAD was running away from me is correct. Didn't get to try at altitude, but was (mistakenly?) thinking the F Variant of the Fokker had one of the fastest engines in WW1... Quote
+Tailspin Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 The info I found lists the SPAD @ 138 mph at 6500ft. Top speed for the DVII was 124 mph with the BMW engine. No altitude was given. The DVII was much more maneuverable at all altitudes, especially high altitudes, but I don't think it was faster than the SPAD. Quote
