Why W.33 performance figures depend on the engine

W.33 statistics for a 245-horsepower engine cannot be applied directly to licensed versions with 300 horsepower or more.

Notes

Commonly available English-language W.33 performance figures describe a 245-horsepower Maybach installation. Many licensed aircraft instead used engines producing 300 horsepower or more. An extra 55 horsepower made a substantial difference at this scale and changed the operating characteristics. Figures for the original installation therefore cannot describe every foreign-built version without identifying which engine it used.
