Talk:Boeing X-48

message: This article doesn't seem to mention the X-48C model that is being testing now (or in the near future). Anyone willing to take a crack and add to that? Also, this article seems to rely too heavily on quotes... it would be nice to get away from that IMO.
Finally, FWiW, two other disadvantages of the BWB for commercial use is the lack of windows for the majority of passengers (on interior of aircraft), and the fact that any passengers towards the outside are moved much more with rolling manuevers... I.E., a passenger 100 ft. out from the centerline will move up/down about 17 feet in a 10 deg roll... not the most comfortable situation. -SidewinderX (talk) 12:16, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The block quotes do need to be summarized.  I had that tagged with the wrong tag before.  I cut back on the quote some in the past but never got them rewritten.  I hadn't seen many articles on the X-48 in a while.  Please add whatever you can reference on it. -Fnlayson (talk) 13:08, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, I've started a Sandbox page here to work on the article. Feel free to add to that page if you have something. -SidewinderX (talk) 14:15, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

text:  I don't think this article is busy enough to really need a sandbox.  Just work on it in main space. -Fnlayson (talk) 23:17, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: A couple of weeks ago, when I made the sandbox, I was planning some pretty dramatic rewriting. I've gotten sidetracked by several things since then, but I'll try and catch back up. -SidewinderX (talk) 02:16, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

text: * There are more important things that this.  Work on it when you can.  The pay is the same either way. ;) -Fnlayson (talk) 04:05, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It's been a while since this was discussed, but I think it's time to add what we can from the sandbox now. The article here is still quite a mess, made even worse by recent attempts by IPs t update the article. - BilCat (talk) 07:23, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: There is a lot more that can be added, yeah. I'll hae a look at the sandbox. - The Bushranger (talk) 07:40, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

text: * The block quotes have since been summarized and I added a brief Variants section based on what is in User:SidewinderX's sandbox. -Fnlayson (talk) 00:39, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  X-48C and article deficiencies 

message: I feel the origin of the photo should be after Boeing's comment. the current placement of the origin paragraph suggests the photo was created to represent Boeing 797, to which Boeing has responded its a fake.
Please note that is not the case here. the photo was commissioned for the article by Popular Science themselves. there is no claim of the photo being a Boeing concept, though its based on Boeing's concept. therefore, it ought to come after Boeing's response as it is obvious Boeing did/does not know of the photo's origin.
perhaps the origin paragraph can be reworded. your opinions are welcome. i have not reverted the position of the origin paragraph as of now since its more civil to discuss first and decide later. but i strongly feel the origin must come at the end for clarity and to not give a wrong impression to other readers.

replies: text: I have deleted it as I dont see any evidence of notabilty or relevance to the X-48. MilborneOne (talk) 14:23, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry but a user adds something new and somebody else challenges it, it is up to User:Krishvanth to gain consensus to add it again. The status quo is to leave the article without the new addition. MilborneOne (talk) 17:45, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I make it as 3:1 (judging by the editors involved) to keep the section, but perhaps with some revisions to establish relevance more clearly. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 17:50, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: OK - The first bit is email tat about the 797 no mention of relevance to the X-48 so it should not be added. I could accept the popular science story about using the blended wing stuff but it really needs some better references than the blogs that were suggested and perhaps re-titled popular culture/blended-wing predictions or similar.
