Steve 'Squirrel' is another longtime Komet fan, and he contributed the following data set. They are based on a rough data set from Germany, that Steve further refined with CompuFoil software. The results are shown below. That agree to a very large degree with the measurements from the Messerschmitt drawings.
Analysis of the data leads to the following characteristics:
Contour data
(note: the coordinates are not smoothed to achieve mathematically smooth contours, without discontinuous curvatures)
