| | | Since the 300 liter tanks are generally not utilized, Colonel Galland suggests drag should be decreased by using a smaller tank.

| Test
Procedure: | Test flights with three different conditions.
| |
| | Results: | The following values are not converted, since air conditions did not change during the test.
|
| Condition | V mph | V/mph
| | smooth machine | 327 | 0
| | Mounting bracket without tank | 324 | - 3
| | Mounting Bracket with 160 l-Tank | 308 | -19

| | B = 729 mm Hg, t = + 14 °, y = 1,179 kg/m3,
| | | p4 = 1,30 ata, p2 = 1,72 ata.

| | | Tests with an un-faired 300 liter external tank on a Me 109 E/3 (vgl Test Report from 30.7.40) resulted, after conversion to an Me 109 G, in a speed loss of 31 km/h. This calculation is still confirmed by a test. A decrease in size of the tank thus brought no speed gain. A fairing is in the works. A significant improvement is anticipated from this measure.
