Feet, it is  30 Feet 2 Inches long,12 Feet 5 Inches high, has an empty weight of 5,645 Pounds, a gross weight of 8,300 Pounds.  The P-39 uses a  Allison V-1710-85 engine which is Liquid Cooled V-12 with 1,325 HP The airplanes top speed is  360 MPH At 15,000 Feet MSL  and has a service ceiling of 35,000 Feet MSL.  There was one huge problem with the P-39 Airacobra, and that was that there was a door to get into the canopy.  When the plane was in flight, the air pressure on the door was so great that a pilot could not open the door to jump out if he need to.  A huge design error.  Also, the Airacobra had a mid engine and it didn't handle properly, as reported by many pilots.  There are many versions of this plane, these specs cover only one version.
