Talk:FanWing

message: Wow, what a great advertisement!  Er, I mean, encyclopedia article.
Where to begin transforming this into something with NPOV? The mind boggles. —SaxTeacher (talk) 19:29, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I seem to recall one of the XV-planes having lift-fans in the wings in the 50s or 60s. This article is mainly devoted to a concept for a specific product called the FanWing which is/was in development, but so far has produced no tangible design. I recommend it either be renamed (possibly Fan wing or Fan-in-wing]]), or merged in with a more appropriate article on vertical lift. Either way, it still needs a LOT of work! - BillCJ 19:01, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with a rename, but to what, I'm still not sure. Despite the project's name, this really isn't a "fan", but more of a squirrel-cage blower. And, as far as I can tell from the offical website, it's at best a STOL aircraft, rather than VTOL. I think there's an article around somewhere on blown flaps, and this is a similar concept. One thing is for certain, though, there are plenty of references that meet WP:V. I'll try taking a stab at this over the next few days, Bill, if you'll keep me in line!

replies: text: The first public flight demonstration of two FanWing unmanned prototypes is planned for the annual international ParcAberporth Unmanned Systems Event, in Wales, UK, on June 25 and 26, 2008 . If anyone can go and take GDFL pictures we could then include them here. Lumos3 (talk) 12:23, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I think the concept fan wing should be separate from the company FanWing articles. The physics of fan-wings should be in the concept article, while the prototype and company can be in the FanWing article. 70.24.251.71 (talk) 06:24, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree. This article is barely more than a stub as it is, splitting it would just look silly. Wait until it gets too big to be a single article. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 20:47, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: If the article had significant cited info about the company a split would be justified so that the company article would have company infobox, categories etc. If you created a company article out of what's here at present it'd soon be tag-bombed as unreferenced etc. DexDor (talk) 21:24, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

text: I vote no as well. The concept for the FanWing is the intellectual property of Patrick Peebles an employee of the company that builds this particular aircraft. FanWing is Peebles' name for this design and his company.-- Brothernight (talk) 22:53, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Fan wing and FanWing

message: The link to the AOP article titled "Could FanWing Go from LSA to Heavy Lifter?" does not work. 
This is the working link: http://www.aopa.org/aircraft/articles/2011/111122could-fanwing-go-from-lsa-to-heavy-lifter.html
I would have changed it myself rather posting a notice here, but it seems that I do not have permission to make or modify links.-- Brothernight (talk) 22:48, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Brothernight. I fixed the link, it was just missing a space between the url and the text legend, so the first word of text corrupted the url. You can edit it just like any other page content, because that is all it is. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 11:44, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
