message: I fixed the broken links to the Mixmaster pages. Seems Wright-Pat's website has been revised, and the domain name drastically changed. Quite a few links on other articles will no doubt need to be fixed as well. Sixty Six 14:06, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Maximum speed: 410 mph (660 km/h; 356 kn) at 23,440 feet (7,140 m)
and
the XB-42 set a speed record of 433.6 mph (697.8 km/h). 2,300 miles in just 5 hours, 17 minutes
So i think, Maximum speed in Specifications must be wrong and must be faster than 433.8 mph --Adama55 (talk) 17:31, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: The maximum speed is a standard aircraft in standard configuration at a specific height. I suspect the record flight was not flown at the specific height all the way and it was reported had a tailwind to help. MilborneOne (talk) 17:44, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: the specific altitude is usually the altitude at which the aircraft is fastest. Long distances are usually flown at cruising speed, i.e. approx. 350 mph, with a tailwind 400 mph may be the result? I don't think the fuel would have been enough at maximum speed. But thx for fast answer.--Adama55 (talk) 21:09, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Performance 

message: The Winchester reference is cited for replacement of the double bubble canopy with a single canopy following the first flight, but the pics with the jet engines fitted still show the double bubble. Was the canopy configuration actually changed, or just suggested to be changed?  Retswerb (talk) 08:46, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Look closely at the tail numbers. The XB-42A with the jet engines was 43-50224. The aircraft with the single canopy was 43-50225. Evidently the prototypes were not simultaneously modified with the single canopy. I don't have any sources handy but I'll try to run this down later. Carguychris (talk) 13:19, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
