BMW 801TU
One of my additions, the BMW 801TU was removews from the article.
The reasoning was, that the BMW 801TU was the powerplant wersion of the BMW 801Q.
But multiple other sources disagree on that. HZS89 (talk) 05:36, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
- It does not appear in the wiki:de version of this article, regardless not one of your 12 edits to this article were supported by citations from a reliable source, this is also a requirement on wiki:de. The added text contained many spelling errors (the post above has 'removews' which should be 'removed' and 'wersion' instead of 'version'. The external link added was misplaced, not formatted and a guide for a flight simulator game, contra to WP:NOTGUIDE.
- I appreciate that your first language is not English but it is not the place of editors to correct your spelling or find citations for your additions. Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 12:02, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
- Why is the source not correct? I personally own the book (Flugmotoren und Strahltriebwerke).
- The spelling problems can be correct, I am not native english. HZS89 (talk) 12:12, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
- No source or citations were added by you, this is the difference between the article as it was before being edited by you and my restoration today, no sources, no citations.Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 13:27, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
- We (currently) list the engine versions here, not the powerplant versions (Motoranlage, Triebwerksanlage). TU is Triebwerksanlage U which contains the Q-2 engine which is basically a late-gen D-2 engine with the new oil cooler (might be larger in capacity but for sure had thicker armor). TU does appear in de wiki version, listed as powerplant verison of Q-2. The naming of these powerplant installations vs the pure engine has always been complicated/confusing, the designation does not always match those of the engine. --Denniss (talk) 17:18, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
COG
"The 801F was 25 centimeters longer, than the earlier 801 versions. The reason for this was to keep the balance of gravity of the Ta 152 aircraft." Isn't an engine just kind of the size that it is? Did they add extra stuff to the back of the engine just so they could make it larger? There isn't really anywhere else to add equipment to a radial, so if they added more supercharger, etc, or was because they needed more supercharger, not because someone said "we need to make sure the engine is large enough to work with the center of gravity of the Ta 152". You make an engine as small and as light as you can generally, and adjust the mounting location to maintain COG. Unless they specifically wanted to use the same cowling as the inline versions and this just means an extension shaft to the prop so the engine doesn't sit at the very front of the long cowling. 2600:1000:B14C:93D1:0:5B:4A7F:A701 (talk) 17:08, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
- Something wrong here, the Ta 152 used a V-12 engine, not the BMW 801 to my knowledge. The text was added by a German-speaking editor from a German language source. You could ask them to clarify/correct, User talk:HZS89. Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 09:55, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
