Some of the info here has been adapted from public domain text at http://www.vectorsite.net/avhe162.html. --GeneralPatton 12:15, 13 Jul 2004 (UTC)

A range of 975km (~60 miles), a speed of 900km/h (~560 mph) and the flying time and the "30-minute fuel capacity" cited in the article does not work out. Can this be cross checked?

What does "highest tactially [sic] useful Mach number" mean? And what is a "flight envelope"? Grant65 (Talk) 11:17, Mar 23, 2005 (UTC)

Your confusion over range is a terminology issue. The article referrs to "operational endurance was to be at least a half hour", operational endurance is the time the aircraft can spend at its operational altitude, and thus does not include the fuel burned taking off and landing. Low-endurance aircraft burn most of their fuel on the way up (I believe a typical trip in a Lear burns about 45% during climb, I could look it up for sure). So while the aircraft can only spend 30 minutes at altitude, its overall "engine on" time would be greater. Enough to explain these numbers I'd guess. As to flight envelope, have a read!

Added some info on He-162's currently in existance, there are actually quite a few of them. I've included Werk Numbers if possible. --Evil.Merlin 15:40, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Can somebody identify the P1073's chief designer? Trekphiler 00:46, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Introduction...

I removed the "second jet fighter" blurb. Its a bit confusing, and really does not add anything.--Evil.Merlin 20:38, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
