"This reduced lift, thus increasing the ambient air pressure and allowing the spoilers to spring back, restoring lift." The tense of the verbs in this sentence seem inconsistant. I am not sure though.

No, it doesn't seem right. I think putting the word 'therefore' infront of 'restoring' may help.

[edit] Article scope?

Is there a specific reason that this article is only about the SS1 flights? To be consistent with the way aircraft articles are done in general on WP, it seems that this should be about the plane, its history, development, specs and missions (it's now flown two other programs after SS1, and it appears that it will be used as a research aircraft on contract like Proteus is). I checked the referenced Tier One article, and it just gives a short description of its part in the program. I propose that this article be allowed to expand to be about the full scope of this unique aircraft. Akradecki 06:21, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article title?

While I'm at it, this article should be renamed "Scaled Composites White Knight". No where that I've seen in either the press nor in Scaled's literature on the aircraft is the plane referred to as WK1...it's just "White Knight", even on the side of the plane. Given WP's policy of "most common name", it seems that the "one" should be dropped. Akradecki 06:25, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
