| TinyTim, tinytim(@)gawab.com, 21.06.2009 Central float was jettisonable (in order to increase speed in case of being pursued by fighters), and wing floats were retractable. In an event of jettisoning the main float, wing floats were to stay retracted during landing on water, and would then keep the plane afloat.
Is there any data anywhere about the max. speed of this interesting plane in the high speed configuration (i.e. main float jettisoned, wing floats retracted)? I'd be much obliged for seeing one. |
