[edit] RD-180
I deleted "They [engines] are license-produced in the US by Pratt and Whitney." This is not true (spring 2008). They CAN be produced in the US by Pratt and Whitney (says Pratt and Whitney) - all necessary paperwork and documentation is available. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.103.73.49 (talk) 00:14, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Article in Daily Yomiuri
The Daily Yomiuri, an English-language newspaper published in Japan, ran an article that claims Lockheed Martin has recently discontinued production of the engine that was going to be used on the first-stage of the GX. The Atlas III article (and other sources) say the first stage of the GX was to be the first stage of the Atlas III, which was powered by an RD-180. But this article most certainly must be in error: the RD-180 is still in production, being used for e.g. Atlas V. So the article must mean production of Atlas III first stages (i.e. airframe, tankage, etc.) is no longer possible. Is this correct? Where was the Atlas III first-stage production line? Is it being used for something else now? (sdsds - talk) 03:51, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
