[edit] F-35?

In the F-35 article one can read: The Joint Advanced Strike Technology (JAST) program was created in 1993. So, why it's listed among the projects of 1960..1970s? --jno 09:36, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

er...this is relevant to 'Freestyle' exactly how...? - Aerobird 15:18, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Review

please mention in brackets metric units for example Mach 1.7 is *** kmph.

Mach units are neither imperial or metric; it's a factor of the speed of sound, which varies with altitude. If a performance in MPH had been given, then the metric equivilant would be required. - Aerobird 15:15, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Name?

So is it the Yak-141 or the Yak-41? The article title says one thing, but the introduction says another. Please enlighten me! --Bkkbrad 04:27, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Russian aircraft designations are highly confusing. The aircraft actually built were designated "Yak-141", a manufacturer's designation. Had they entered service, they would have been designated "Yak-41", a VVS designation (maybe -- the Tu-20 'Bear' became much better known by the manufacturer's designations Tu-95 and Tu-142). - Aerobird 15:17, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
