[edit] Jet sizes

There are both compact and bus-size jetplanes. We should make multiple articles about different size jetplanes just like there are articles about different size automobiles. The article I am suggesting are compact jet and commercial jet. --SuperDude 00:18, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Not a bad idea. There's an article at business jet but commuter jet and commercial airliner are coming up blank. I don't know if "commuter jet" or "compact jet" are proper terms, however. I personally don't know much about jet aircraft, but my younger brother does. I might give him a call. Let me know what you want to do on this, SD. - Lucky 6.9 00:56, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] First flight

Actually, the first operating jet was a British aircraft, the name of which escapes me.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.101.101.78 (talk • contribs) .

Hi, I think the first british commercial jet was the comet -- Maj. Templeton —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.64.204.143 (talk) 15:21, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Coana

The Coana-1910 is listed above, but the Canadian biplane ca. 1912 is not. Reference needed: Older printed material on early flight.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Roy.crabtree@gmail.com (talk • contribs) .

[edit] First sentence

I changed the first sentence to plural. Sounded better. Spaomark 16:33, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Aircraft is the plural per http://www.answers.com/aircraft&r=67 Kind Regards - Heligoland | Talk | Contribs 16:45, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Space Shuttle aerodynamic lift during launch

I have searched around and can find no mention of this. Since the shuttle is more or less belly-up during launch, it seems counterintuitive that the lift surfaces would be of any help. In fact, it seems the opposite would be true. I would suggest deletion of this if the author can not provide citation. BigDaveB (talk) 19:26, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
