FW190A-2 Need info about speed

FW190A series Speed and engines

Hi, I can.t search a true and real info about speed of FW190A-1/2 models with the firts BMW 801C, what hp and mph have him?

The hp is a 1600 or 1550?

exist physical differences with the famous A-8?
as I can realize watching if it is a A-8 or a A-2?

 

[vidal]

I believe that the A2 was powered with a BMW 801C. : 1430 hp at 5600 m. Maw speed is 590 km/h at 0 m and 685 km/h at 5600 m.
There are some physical differences between the A2 and the A8 : the shape of the top of the tail fin, the length of the fuselage (shorter by 5.9 in. for the A2), and the cowl armament (light MG for the A2, heavy MG for the A8, which gave some differences of the cowl shape). Many A8 had additional armour plates, several wing armament configurations, and external tanks and weapons that the A2 did not.

685KM/H is imposible! the P-47D of 1943 have 697km/h, 590 is more real! but no in 0 m! I sink that is in aprox 18.000ft- 20.000ft

I don.t have the real value but I suppose that A-2 can has 620km/h
For this reason I make the post!I don,t know a good info

I search a nice info about Hp!

The pre production A-0 have BMW139 engine of 1550hp

The first production A-1/2 have BMW801C of 1650hp

The last production A-3/8 have BMW801D-2 of 1750hp

Any Prototipes A-9 have BMW801E/S of 1950hp

Ultimate Prototipe A-10 have BMW 801F of 2350hp

The Focke-Wulf Fw-190 A-2 had a BMW 801C-2 engine rated at about 1,540 horsepower. As far as top speed, I'd wager a Fw-190 A-2 could probably attain about 620 to 640 km/h, somewhere in the neighborhood of 6,000 meters. Above that level, performance would begin to taper off.

This page say that the A-9 serie is the ultimate in action!

I don't understand why the russians in 1944 have a more speed La-7 with 1850hp and the germans the traditional Fw190A-8 with minor speed!

The A-2 used the BMW 801 C-2 which was rated at 1600 metric hp/1578hp.
Max Speed with takeoff/emergency power at 1.32 ata was 526kph TAS at sealevel and 676 kph TAS at 6400m as per the handbooks.
Variants post A-4 had a slower max speed at altitude due to a redesign of the airflow inside the engine nacelle.

676km/h?,na! A-8 have 657km/h at 19.500ft the power is in:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_801

BMW 801A,B,C: 1,560 PS (1,539 hp, 1,147 kW)
BMW 801D,G,H: 1,700 PS (1,677 hp, 1,250 kW)
BMW 801E,S: 2,000 PS (1,973 hp, 1,471 kW)
BMW 801F: 2,400 PS (2,367 hp, 1,765 kW), development halted by the end of the war

I sink that the A-2 have 626km/h!

That's data from the Fw190A-1 to A-4 manuals, but it's probably nazi propaganda.

jajaja, 625 km/h at 18945 !this is good info, I belive in 626km/h at 20000ft! I have inteligent! jaja

:karate:
Identical to the Fw 190A-1, but with better armament: the 2 × 0.312 inch (7.92 mm) MG 17 machine guns in the wing roots were replaced by 2 × 20 mm MG FF cannons, drum fed with 60 rounds each. Later aircraft received an additional 2 × MG 17 fixed forward firing guns, magazine-fed. The Fw 190A-2 was powered by the improved BMW 801C-2 engine, had additional radio equipment, and had a max take-off weight of 7,716 lb (3500 kg), a max level speed of 388 mph (625 km/h) at 18,945 ft (5.500 m).
Number built: 426

You should be proud of yourself then that you found the most reliable source on this particular plane.

I publish does not want to help! , I am making one long comparative list,about the speed and power of the airplanes in period 1930-1945.
I testing the info! there are lies values!, but I calculate the most posible aceptables.I can upload this work with I can finalished

 

[Rami]

Sounds like a wonderful idea, Maxstuka.

Sounds like a wonderful idea, Maxstuka.

yeah, Is very interesting! for this reason I am working in this!.
there are surprises of models no popularities, I see now that the Polikarpov I-16 have more speed than the f4f wildcat and the P-66 Vanguard more speed than A6m2 and Ki-43II!

There are in the list the Hp of engines, for not confuses series and models of one only aircraft!

 

[Mathias]

there are lies values!,

That's correct. That's why one should consider all possible error sources before making statements. For instance allied test results of German equipment are usually flawed by several factors such as unfamiliarity with the equipment, lack of spare parts/spark plugs/adequate avgas or just bad condition of the captured equipment.
You wouldn't quote German data either when talking about Spitfires.
The 625kph figure looks like top speed at combat power to me, not full power.
Here's a graph dating 20.10.1943 showing speed figures of the A-5 at 1.2, 1.32 and 1.42 ata. I know it's not the C-2 engine, hope that I can find this one back
