At last! Models we'll be able to skin as the 78th Fighter Group! Thanks, Cocas!

[Spinners]

The 'C' and the 'D' - wow! There's nothing like a nice pair of jugs...

 

I do like the P-47 - a handsome but purposeful looking aircraft.

I know TMF did it for the cowl flaps on the Corsairs...Bpao called it 'nozzle'

 

[Nozzle]

SystemType=HIGHLIFT_DEVICE

DeploymentMethod=AUTOMATIC_SPEED

Setting[1].Angle=45.0

Setting[1].DeployValue=80.0

Setting[1].RetractValue=70.0

MaxDeflection=45.0

MinDeflection=0.0

ControlRate=0.5

AnimationID=7

 

they'd definately be open on the ground, and at speeds to ???? 125 knots???

Russ's P-47N had operating cowl flaps... Don't forget, real dive flaps are needed for later models...

[+KnightWolf45]

ok thanks for tip Major late like D razorback? or later?

[+Cliff7600]

Underneath view of the P-47D 25 type.

Some source says D 26 and later, I don't know (P-47N variant for sure)

It may have been retrofitted, the purpose was to avoid reaching the sound barrier when making steep dive.

The problem is decreasing throttle creates a diving moment due to engine effect on the flight.

So they needed dive brakes :)

 

 

I would say late D types, and later (but not all of them?) ;)

In "P-47_Thunderbolt_in_Detail_and_Scale" it's pages 25 and 54 : Compressibility flaps

(pages 26 and 53 of the pdf file)

 

love the Jug!

[Wrench]

thanks cliff! that's I found it too!! Great site for all sorts of goodies

D-28 and later, also M models, which were taken from the D-28 run for conversion... Dive flaps would generate a 3 to 4 G pull out of a dive at 350 to 400KIAS. (Report of Joint Fighter Conference, NAS Patuxent River, MD, 16OCT1944) As for approaching mach number, tests at Dayton post war yielded results of about mach .805 to .83, in a vertical dive from 35 to 40 thousand feet. (This based on quotes from Herbert Fisher, Lowery Brabham, Chuck Yeager and Bob Hoover.)

 

 

Notice the extended dive flaps...
