[edit] Related content
I was just wondering why there are so many Tupolevs on the related development list. OK, I know that they can all trace linage back to the B-29, but, for example, the link between the Tu-85 and the Guppy is:
- Super Guppy
- Based on Stratocruiser/C-97
- Based on B-50
- Based on B-29
- Russian copy Tu-4
- Developed to Tu-85
It seems these need a rethink. Could I have some opinions. --GW_Simulations 18:38, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Specifications
I have both the specifications for the Super Guppy (original) and the Super Guppy Turbine. However, I have more detailed specs for the Super Guppy Turbine, so I will be posting those. Should I be posting the specifications for the original Super Guppy instead?
[edit] Errors
Something is obviously wrong in the conversion between kg and pounds. A kg is more than a pound, but the plane is rated at 54500lb, and this supposedly equals 120000kg? Someone screwed up the calculation?
