Over Me 109 speed may be higher in combat .1943 Lucas Schmid (Lukas Schmid), a test pilot driving a specially modified and equipped with ejection seats Me 109F highly successful in the 5,790 meters reached 900 km / h. Messerschmitt's design team in order to increase the flight speed, a simple solution is to reduce the wing area of the new wing of the first prototype of the F-Me 109V24 and Me 109E wing is almost identical, but shorter, about 0.5 meters,north face clearance, the aileron length decreased from 1.68 m to 1.45 m, while the chord length is slightly increased to compensate for the loss of efficiency of the rudder. Although the objective was achieved, but increased the wing loading, resulting in flight characteristics that are difficult to control, so the final F-type or slightly larger than the E-type wingspan (7.16 m), and fitted with an oval-shaped wing wingtip extension looks much like a simplified version of the Spitfire wing. due to the increase of the aspect ratio, the induced drag of the F-type wing dropped significantly and improve the performance of deflection,north face jackets for kids. addition, in order to pursue a better aerodynamic characteristics, also moved radiator wing roots, and will replace the original cloth flaps skin became aluminum which makes the F-type operating performance has improved significantly, and late G and K with similar wing, but in order to improve the high-altitude performance and firepower, but not as good as the F-type handling performance.
Tail
Tail structure is very standard, vertical tail and horizontal stabilizer is all-metal structure, rudder, and elevator using lightweight frame structure is composed of by stamping alloy ribs, cloth skin time standards, Me 109 very advanced in some respects, but the design is still behind the times shocking, before the appearance of the F-type, for example, between the Me 109 horizontal stabilizer and the lower part of the body remains the support bar. due to the vertical tail and horizontal stabilizer wing area is very small, so the the asymmetric wing surface to counteract propeller torque on the early models, the rudder is a dynamic compensation - sudden angle compensation, but due to the lack of adjustment piece, the operation is very laborious, late models, the rudder use wooden components makes the intensity decreases, so had to use the a static compensator way - to install a fixed counterweight hinge point, plus adjustments tablets.
With the increase of engine power and propeller torque, the vertical tail and rudder was increased. Increased parts refurbished directly from early models, and the original smaller model, the yaw flight manipulation performance somewhat inadequate. German designed a beautiful butterfly tail, installed in a number Werknr 14003/VJ + WC Me 109G, and test flight was carried out between March 1943 to May test pilot Bauer (Baur) and Wendell (Wendel) that its results were disappointing, yaw control during takeoff even more difficult than the Me 109, has been greatly
