The Me.109G/6 is a small low wing, single seater, single engined, short range fighter, with fittings under the fuselage to enable it to carry a jettisonable fuel tank. A 250 K.G. bomb may be carried under the fuselage in place of the fuel tank.

The Messerschmitt Bf 109 is a monoplane fighter aircraft that was designed and initially produced by the German aircraft manufacturer Bayerische Flugzeugwerke (BFW). Together with the Focke-Wulf Fw 190, the Bf 109 formed the backbone of the …

Early in 1944, new engines with larger superchargers for improved high-altitude performance (DB 605AS), or with MW-50 water injection for improved low/medium-altitude performance (DB 605AM), or these two features combined (DB 605ASM) were introduced into the Bf 109 G-6. Maximum speed of the G-5/G-6 was 530 km/h (320 mph) at sea level, 640 km/h ...

Tables and graphs show the influence of weight and of drag of exterior modifications on the performance of the Me 109 G. The data shown above is the report's summary of the 109 G-1 basic model (page 3).

The flight performance of the ME 109-6 (tropical equipment) will be determined for an intended performance comparison with a modern Italian fighter. 1. Determination of the influence of external attachments on level speed, such as under wing weapons, wheel covers, sand filter, and 2 x 50 kg of bombs. 2. Climb to ceiling. 3.

Single engine, single seat, low wing, fighter. Willy Messerschmitt's famous Bf 109 series of single-seat fighter airplanes was produced in larger quantities than any other combat airplane in history except the Soviet Ilyushin Il-2 Sturmovik.

Intended as a "stand-off" weapon, fired from a distance of 1,200 meters and outside the effective range of the formations defensive guns, it was employed against Allied bomber formations, the Wfr. Gr. 21 rocket was unofficially known as the BR 21 (Bordrakete 21 cm) for the Bf 109G-5, G-6 …

The numerically dominant G-6 series, the first "standardized" 109's, were designed to accept a variety of external stores. These included under wing 20mm and 30mm cannon packs, 210mm mortars, or a 551 pound bomb.

It was armed as the G-6 with 2 MG 131 and a MG 151/20. A number of older G-6 and G-4 airframes were retrofitted to G-10 standard. Most G-10's were fitted with a new canopy which improved vision for the pilot. Aircraft fitted with an DB 605AS or D engine can be recognized by the new refined cowling form, dispensing with the bulges.

The Bf 109G-6 was a vital Luftwaffe fighter late in World War Two, but its airframe nuances can cause confusion. In this exclusive feature, MALCOLM V LOWE discusses the structural differences it experienced – and touches on its operational employment.
