    !he Messerschmitt Bf 109 was designed by WIlly


    Messerschmitt and Walter Rethel and had its first test flight in
    1935.

    !he Messerschmitt Bf 109 was a fighter pilot and it shot down


    more Allied planes than any other aircraft!

    It was mostly used as a German WWII plane but was first used
    during the Spanish Civil War
    !

    !he Messerschmitt B f109 was powered by a Daimler-Benz DB


    605/1,200 engine.

    It had a range of 373 miles


    Weight

    !wo large, complex brackets which were fitted to the firewall.


    !hese brackets incorporated the lower engine mounts and
    landing gear pivot point into one unit. A large forging attached
    to the firewall housed the main spar pick-up points, and carried
    most of the wing loads. By concentrating the loads in the
    firewall, the structure of the Bf 109 could be made relatively
    light and uncomplicated.
    K

    !he fighter was designed primarily for high-speed flight. A


    smaller wing area was optimal for achieving high speed.
    ßift

    !he Bf 109 included advanced high-lift devices on the wings,


    including automatically-opening leading edge slats, and fairly
    large camber-changing flaps on the trailing edge. !he slats
    increased the lift of the wing considerably when
    deployed, greatly improving the horizontal maneuverability of
    the aircraft.
    A

    A unique feature of the B 109 was that it had two coolant


    radiators were equipped with a cut-off system. If one radiator
    leaked, it was possible to fly on the second, or to fly for at least
    five minutes with both closed.
