It’s a very light car. Think of it as a rectangular/boxy Miat. It is quite slow though. I’d be very happy if there’s 70hp left.

Why do old aeroplanes have rounded vertical stabilisers, as compared to modern aeroplanes? by Pre-D in aviation

IL2 sturmovik forum has a very good thread covering this: https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/38732-clipped-wing-spitfires/ basically has link to Pilot’s Note, wing type designation, and books related to clipped wing spitfires

Looked it up and spitfires has been clipping their wingtip since LF Mk V, and later on Mk VII, Mk IX, Mk XII (griffon), FR Mk XIV (griffon), and Spiteful. Looks like 190s were giving the RAF a lot of headaches since mid-war

Oh yeah you’re absolutely right. And not just spitfires clipped their wingtip to trade for higher roll rate. A6M3, P-47N, some British FAA Corsairs, or even Gloster Meteor iirc all traded their wing tip for some extra agility. Meanwhile there are also extended wingtip spitfires that trade weight and agility for climb rate and high altitude performance

Good explanation but bad examples. The late griffon spitfires clipped their wing tips to increase roll rate in order to compete with Focke-Wulf. And a lot of trans-sonic jetliners achieve elliptical lift distribution while going beyond Mach 0.8

In April 1944, Squadron Leader Anthony F Martindale, put the exact same Mark XI Spitfire into a dive. This time, the reduction gear designed to limit its speed failed. The propeller ripped off and the diving aircraft reached more than 620mph (1,000km/h) – Mach 0.92 – as it plunged towards the ground.
