fbs -> Nice.... an I-15 can outclimb the Me-262A, uh? (3/23/2014 5:22:45 AM)

I-153BS, biplane with max speed 276 mph, climbs at 3,097 ft/min Meanwhile... Fw 190A-8/R2, speed 379 mph, climbs at 2,110 ft/min Bf 109E-7, speed 354 mph, climbs at 2,700 ft/min Spitfire IX, speed 408 mph, climbs at 2,800 ft/min Me 262A, speed 541 mph, climbs at 2,900 ft/min Guess there's some unit conversion error with the I-153BS (and some other I-15/I-16 types)? ps: found an even slower airplane outclimbing the Me 262: Hs 123A, another biplane, speed 218 mph, climbs at 2,956 ft/min Perhaps there's some reason why these obsolete and old biplanse are such excellent climbers?
