Chapter 833: DC-3 and Boeing 367-2

Although it was far behind the latest fighter aircraft, it was already on par with the data of the previous generation, which is the fifth generation of fighter aircraft.

Considering the strong transport capacity of the DC-3 transport plane, the slight disadvantage in speed could be completely ignored.

Of course, maximum speed was actually just a reference value, anyway. It was not possible for an airplane to fly at maximum speed all the time in real flight.

During actual tests, the DC-3 transport plane could only maintain a constant speed of about 275 kilometers per hour, which was the conventional cruising speed.

Arthur also hastily glanced at some other data:

Maximum range: 1,600 nautical miles (2,963 kilometers)

Service ceiling: 26,400 feet (8,050 meters)

Rate of climb: 1,130 feet/min (5.75 meters per second)

The above were all the data for the civilian version of the DC-3 transport plane.

Based on this data, Arthur was very satisfied.
