This article may be deeply flawed and possibly should be deleted entirely. FIRST, The article is called Fin-Folding Aerial Rocket, but I've always seen it as Folding-Fin Aerial Rocket. Searching on "Folding-Fin Aerial Rocket" redirects to the Wikipedia entry on Rockets, which suggest this article is both unnecessary and even, literally, on its face, erroneous. SECOND, It's completely about sex American weaponry and development, even though many nations use FFARs. If this were specific to a weapons system (e.g., Hydra 70), it would be fine. But it's not, so a focus on an entire range of technology as American is wrong. It's as if we saw an article on "personal computers" and it only talked about American-made IBM machines from the 1980s. --Thatnewguy 13:43, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

I just listed this for deletion. --Thatnewguy 16:00, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

How about we have a discussion before we list anything for deletion? This article may need to be rewritten, but it has taken on a life of its own as one of about the history of the Mk 4 FFAR and the subsequent Mk 40 rocket motor. Renamed yes, deleted no. --Thatguy96 16:56, 5 July 2006
