"X-plane projects are still underway as of 2004." Any updates? :) ----Unforgettableid | Talk to me 18:50, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image:LockheedX7.JPG has been listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded, Image:LockheedX7.JPG, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

[edit] Origin?

Where does the X notion come from? Does some authority (e.g. NASA) designate new 'X' craft? Or do companies do it themslves, according to tradition? Either way, I think it should be explained in the article? --AndersFeder 21:18, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] [Company name] in front of X?

Any objections to moving the the couple of articles that do not include the company name in the article title (3, 13, ...), so the company name is in the title/URL when it's explicitly written with it in the article body? -- Jeandré, 2006-07-15t18:52z

[edit] no list?

Since the content of {{X-planes}} has changed to a link from a list, there doesn't seem to be a complete and (I'm feelin') convenient list of all the X-planes, or is there? If not, why don't we put it in this article or should we access X-plane/gallery every time? --marsian 15:58, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

I totally agree. I am returning the template. I think the gallery shoudl go in it as well. -Ravedave ^{(help name my baby)} 03:23, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Poorly written conjecture

Removed this:

"Some believe that the United States Government has developed a X-Plane that is capable of reaching mach 12! Several people one day in california said they heard a sonic boom and several windows broke. In the air above them a huge cloud formed like the ones you see at the end of commercial airplanes in the skies (kind of looks like smoke comming out of the back of the plane or off the wings). Some ex-workers for lockheed-martin say that there was infact a plan of building a plane that went mach 12. Some even say that UFOs are used to cover up secret projects by the government. Nothings certain for sure weather these planes exist or not but if humans built the space shuttle to go mach 20+ couldnt they have built a X-Plane that goes Mach 12. That for you to believe or not."

Exclamation points, conjecture with no cited sources, questions asked of the reader...
