Testing showed the aircraft did not have the performance needed for use in Northwest Europe at high-altitude, due to the service ceiling limitation. Spitfires used in the theater operated at heights around 30,000 ft (9,100 m), while the P-40's Allison engine, with its single-stage, low altitude rated supercharger, worked best at 15,000 ft ...
P-40L-10, 148 aircraft with electric aileron trim tabs and revised engine controls. P-40L-15, 112 aircraft with revised carburetor filters and signal lights. P-40L-20, 170 aircraft with radio and electrical system changes and provisions for an incendiary grenade. P-40L-25, 567 aircraft ordered, cancelled and never built.
A typical value might be 100 ft/min (0.51 m/s) climb, [1] or on the order of 500 ft/min (2.5 m/s) climb for jet aircraft. The one-engine inoperative (OEI) service ceiling of a twin-engine, fixed-wing aircraft is the density altitude at which flying in a clean configuration, at the best rate of climb airspeed for that altitude with one engine ...

F119-PW-100: Production engine for the F-22A with larger fan and increased bypass ratio (BPR) rated for 35,000 lbf thrust class. YF119-PW-611: Prototype engine for the X-35.
The PW1500G variant, designed for the Airbus A220, became the first certified engine in 2013. The program cost is estimated at $10 billion. Unlike traditional turbofan engines where a single shaft connects all components, forcing them to operate at the same speed, the PW1000G has a gearbox between the fan and the low-pressure core. This allows ...
Hawker Hurricane and T-6 Texan warbirds in flight over Finland.
