Typhoon & Beaufighter – Some Info Required

Hi all

I’m in need the following information for both of these planes:

Rudder Area
Fin Area
Fin Height
Tailplane Area
Tailplane Span
Elevator Area
Aileron Area
Control Surface Movement
Max Flap Deflection
Wing Incidence
Dihedrel

Also, does anyone have data for the Napier Sabre engines? Basically just need the power outputs for the II series but any of the later ones would be helpful too! 🙂

Cheers

Bristol Beaufighter

Hi;
I may be able to dig up a few pictures of the Beaufighter under restoration at the US Air Force Museum, if you’re interested. Which version of FS are you building for? I’m currently working on a Beaufighter (update) for CFS2….

Eddie,

It is for a Flight Sim, but a Redmond based one! 😉

JDK,

Thanks for the tip. I’ll look into those scale plans.

I do have good references for both aircraft and have built the FM’s, but as often is the case this data is not always included!

Cheers

My guess is that it’s for a flight sim… one developed in Moscow, perchance?

Hi Paul,
What do you want it for? If it was for a flying scale model, then I’m sure there are reasonably reliable scale plans which will provide the answers (MAP etc) However they wouldn’t do for full size use though! And there’s at least one set of Beau plans that are notoriously innacurate.

Cheers
