Steep bank=higher wing loading=more drag. More thrust means you overcome
the added drag. Think of it as having the thrust to pull through a tight turn -- especially a climbing turn. "Newps" wrote in message ... George Patterson wrote: Later in the war, the Thunderbolt was re-equipped with a prop which had comparatively wide blades -- the pilots called it a "paddle-blade" prop. Rate-of-climb and maneuverability immediately improved to the point that a good Jug pilot could out-maneuver a Spitfire. How does a prop change make the plane more manuverable?
