@ timestamp 14.24 Seriously though, Thank you YO-YO and all the team, I am stoked up for the P-47

"Margie II" Republic P-47D-20-RE 42-76484 flown by 1st Lt. Gerald Grace

 

Production batches from the D-20 onward were fitted with a "universal" wing which could carry a variety

of drop tanks or bombs. These batches also introduced the R-2800-59 engine with an improved ignition

system. The power was the same as that of the -63, with a war emergency power output of 2300 hp.

"Wild Bette" Republic P-47D-22-RE 42-26130 flown by 1st Lt. Richard Kik

 

Production batches D-22-RE and D-23-RA, a 13' diameter paddle-bladed propeller (either a Hamilton

Standard Hydromatic 24E50-65 or a Curtiss Electric C542S) was fitted to make full use of the additional

power provided by water injection. Blocks D-22-RE and D-23-RA were also provided with a jettisonable

cockpit canopy which was activated by the pilot pulling a ring. A bullet-proof windshield was fitted, and

internal fuel capacity was increased.

 

The "Bubbletop" is born

The USAAF fitted a standard P-47D-5-RE airframe (serial number 42-8702) with a bubble canopy taken

from a Hawker Typhoon. In order to accommodate the bubble canopy, the Republic design team had to cut

down the rear fuselage. This conversion was redesignated XP-47K, and was tested in July 1943. This

modification was immediately proven to be feasible, and was promptly introduced on both the Farmingdale

and Evansville production lines.

"Rough and Ready" Republic P-47D-28-RE 44-20268 flown by Capt. Bill Garry

 

Ordinarily, the USAAF would have given such a radical modification a completely new variant letter.

The USAAF chose instead to designate it simply by giving it a new production block number in the D-series.

The first batches to feature this new bubble canopy were Farmingdale's P-47D-25-RE and Evansville's

P-47D-26-RA. These batches also had the R-2800-59 or -63 engines, the paddle-bladed propeller, and the

"universal" wing first introduced on the "razorback" P-47D-20-RE. Stronger belly shackles capable of

carrying a 91.6 Imp. gall. drop tank were fitted. This tank, together with the 170.6 Imp. gall. main fuselage

tank, an 83-gallon auxiliary fuel tank and two 125-gallon underwing tanks, made it possible to carry a total

fuel load of 595 gallons, providing a maximum range of 1800 miles at 10,000 feet.

"Lizzy" Republic P-47D-30-RE 44-20456 flown by Capt. Les Leavoy

 

The early "bubble-canopy" Thunderbolts had suffered from some directional instability as a result of the loss

of aft keel area. From the P-47D-30-RE production lots onward, a dorsal fin was fitted just ahead of the

rudder. This innovation successfully restored the stability.

The high diving speeds of which the Thunderbolt was capable pushed the aircraft into the edge of

compressibility, and new blunt-nosed ailerons were fitted to improve controllability at these high speeds. In

order to help in dive recovery at these high speeds, an electrically-operated dive recovery flap was fitted on

the undersurfaces of each wing.

 

Republic Farmingdale produced a total of 2547 bubbletop P-47D's and Evansville produced 4632.

Main shaft.

 

I hope that this damage wont end in engine jamm after 1 minute.

i would like to see lost of oil pressure maby,lost of power,difrent engine sound, befoe engine settle down to stop, And engine stop not bending known laws of physics (not from 2700-0 in 0s)

It will... :) not abrupt stop, but it will be not an engine anymore.

So I am wondering about the Test Data that was lost at the Republic facility. I live in Evansville, and the factory still stands where we punched out over 15,000 of these birds . . . has anyone sought information from the Evansville area? I can certainly start poking around.

The new kind of failures we will introduce is a main bearings failure due to LOW MP... in less than a minute the bearings will be dead. Thus, it will cure the bad habit to retard throttle at high speed.

 

 

YoYo, would this failure apply to all the piston aircraft, or is this just a P47 thing?

I think that this case apply only for radials, v12 have very strong main bearings setup compare to radial engines, where you have only 2 main bearings,v12 probably have 7 main bearings

Can do, starting with local Museum and the local group that restored LST 325, as Evansville churned out more LST's than any other inland port - they probably have some ties to folks who can help.

 

This should be fun, and challenging.

Irons in the fire about 4 different venues. Even contacted a couple of Air Museums not local. This has probably all been done before, but what the heck, I am piqued now to see what develops.

Probably not what we need, but at least they are trying and I am sure folks in this forum have seen this. Still, it is nice to know folks will dig around for you - the link has some nice colorized diagrams, and hydraulic diagrams.

 

 

 

Hello!

 

We did come across this. Not sure if it will help!

Good luck!

Alright, I'll add my $0.02.

 

The P-47 shot down more enemy aircraft than any other American fighter in WW2. That's right, more than the Mustang, Corsair, or Hellcat. The Jug was not merely a bomb truck. It had a higher service ceiling than any other American fighter, and the P-47M was the fastest piston engine fighter to serve in the ETO.

 

So there!:book:
