Talk:China's spaceplane program

message: Project 921 has seven sub-systems. Project 921-3 is Manned spacecraft. In 1988 (before Project 921), Project 863-204 considered proposals for a Chinese space transportation system. They narrowed the choices to a ballistic capsule modeled after the Soviet Soyuz, and the ChangCheng 1 space shuttle. Two years later, the ballistic capsule approach was given preference to the space shuttle approach. This decision was driven by technological considerations, cost, and support for the ballistic approach by Quian Xuesen, father of the Chinese space program.
No consideration to a space shuttle has been given since 1990.

message: "It has been proposed that the vehicle is fitted with a Russian-designed D-30K turbofan engine"--It is ridiculous to use a big turbofan engine for a space plane. I guess the editor misinterpret the information. It is the carrier plane H-6K that uses two Russian made D-30K engines.Sinolonghai (talk) 22:43, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You know, when copyediting that piece originally, I thought that was incredibly odd, but given that I cannot read the language and had to rely on less-than-accurate translation, I decided to keep it in.  If you can change that to something more accurate while staying within what the cited article says, please do so. — Huntster (t • @ • c) 04:23, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I would suggest not. Unless it is 100% certain that no freely licensed image could ever be obtained (aka if the vehicle was destroyed and no more will be produced), fair use is not an option. — Huntster (t @ c) 06:59, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
