I’m trying to model characteristics of various aircraft for a WWII air combat game, and need to know how turns affect speed for various aircraft profiles; ex, light aircraft like the Japanese ki-27 Nate or Zero vs heavier aircraft like the F4F Wildcat or P-40 Warhawk. Thanks.
All the answers so far have been helpful. Nobody mentions weight as a factor – so I assume that given the same bank, angle of attack, etc, a heavy plane will decelerate at the same rate as a light one?

In sixty decade I travelled many a time by aircraft. Then toilets used to flush by water. Now- a -days I find that toilets flush without water. Can any body tell me about this in dertails?

It seems that the possibilty of an aircraft that is soley controlled by a computer (computer system) is very possible. There are already Unmanned Aerial Vehicles flying in the military. Catagory III aircraft have auto-land, which enables the aircraft to land in zero visibility (obviously at Cat III certified runways). Autopilot flies preprogrammed flight paths and approaches. What problems to do you see in this? Would you fly in a piloted-computer controlled aircraft in the future? Something to think about: more than 70% of aircraft accidents occure due to pilot error and not mechanical failure.
