Gian Vito Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Ottimo lavoro! Si tratta di dati sempre difficili da reperire; tempo addietro avevo scritto qualcosa sulla riduzione di velocità con carichi esterni, con solo pochi dati sui velivoli della seconda guerra mondiale. Riporterò tutto nel mio archivio! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
