Notes: 1) Data is sometimes different in different sources. 2) Climbing rate is given in km per minute units or in time for reaching some attitude units 3) Sometimes on the same experimental airplane are mounted different engines or armament so the characteristics are different too. 4) I will be very grateful to everyone who can send me some corrections or additions to: [email protected]
