P-47 Thunderbolt Pt. 1 Design and Speed
Oct 18, 2026
This is the first video in my series on Thunderbolt. I hope you like it. There is a lot to cover. Part 2 is coming soon.
A couple of corrections. The prop in the test airplane was twelve feet two inches, Obviously I mis-spoke when I said 12.2".
The D model could run 70 inches at 23,000 feet at the turbo's max speed of 18,250rpm. I totally mis-spoke here when I said 23,000rpm, that was supposed to be 23k feet.
