Untitled section

"As of 2006[update], it remains the only civilian aircraft ever to use a forward-swept wing."

According to this, it is not true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.106.72.25 (talk) 17:45, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Plan view needed

A plan view, picture or diagram, is needed. 94.30.84.71 (talk) 23:24, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The aircraft's most defining feature are the forward-swept wings

None of the photos makes this feature visible. Surely a photo exists that better shows the wing design? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.51.29.228 (talk) 01:56, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Only one on the Commons shows the wing sweep clearly, which I have now added. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 10:37, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Citation style

The citation style of this article has been changed recently without discussion. This really ought to have gone to talk page, as per WP:BRD, and reasoned out here with agreement, rather than been edit-warred into place. The style used on the article had been in place for roughly a decade, and I don't think it is clear which option to go for when bringing it into conformance, but whichever option it should be, discussion should be engaged in on this talk page if it has become contentious.

WP:CITEVAR considers helpful imposing one style on an article with inconsistent citation styles (e.g., some of the citations in footnotes and others as parenthetical references): an improvement because it makes the citations easier to understand and edit. There was no consistent style before merging them: 16 citations + 4 Bibliography (and only 3 used). I choose to harmonize the ref style to the style most used for the article.--Marc Lacoste (talk) 00:11, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Performance

In the Performance page the never exceed speed is lower than the cruise speed. This would imply that the Hansa Jet would disintegrate before reaching its cruise speed. I don't know if this is actually accurate, or if its a typo or misread information. I have no idea about the actual info of the flight speeds of the Hansa Jet but I suggest we fix (or at least look into) it. Cheers! <3 Taffy boeing b 17 (talk) 15:24, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The figures are true to the source, the key is knowing which units are being used, airspeed is affected by ambient conditions (density (altitude) and temperature (altitude again)). The VNE is listed as equivalent airspeed (EAS) or Mach number, the other airspeeds are not. Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 16:48, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ahhhhhhh yeah I see it now. thx. the altitude part of the [equation i guess] is kinda hidden, but that's my fault tbh. lol. cheers! <3 Taffy boeing b 17 (talk) 17:01, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
