Investigating the possibility of having a counterpart for P-51 in future I need help searching for the wind tunnel data of Bf-109 or FW-190 (or even Zero). I must say that it does not mean that the next flyable plane will be of these types . It means that maybe an AI plane to shoot at will be added if we have good 3D model. But even an AI plane must fly at proper trajectory, mustn't it?

All available NACA resources have no necessary data. The British resources could contain something interesting because I am not sure I know them all. And German resources are still Terra Incognita for me because of my extremely poor German (as well as Japaneeze).

What kind of data will be priceless:
- wind tunnel or flight test measurements of lift carpet, L/D polars, moments, etc
- performance diagrams (though I have a lot, there is always something I would be very happy to get)

Only professional documents of WW II is required, not contemporary estimations.


Please, do not flood this thread - if you have questions and wishes, what plane to make first, you can write a private message

Are test reports for the captured Luftwaffe aircraft available online? I'm sure I've seen them quoted over the years.

Edit: the RAF operated a unit called 1426 Enemy Aircraft Flight. Time for some googling!

But, there are actual flying examples of these planes. Why would that not be as useful, if not moreso, than data on a piece of paper?

The problem there may be that no-one today would dare fly a warbird in the manner that wartime pilots were able to.
