Talk:Bell Aircraft

message: Can a cannon really be mounted inside of a rotating driveshaft? I would think that there was a gearbox involved. I'll agree with the historicity of the cannon being mounted through the axis of the propeller. (Born2flie 16:44, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

message: We need to note the fact that many Bell-designed aircraft were produced by other firms because the contracting agency often would not have faith in Bell's production capability. I believe the X-20 was one such design. I'll go through the Dyna-Soar book...I'm pretty sure that the data at the X-20 article is incorrect on this. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 06:53, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bell aircraft built by other firms 

message: The page does not contain any information about the company after its name was changed to Bell Aerospace.  As I understand it, Bell Aerospace was separate from Bell Helicopter.  One of Bell Aerospace products was the Automatic Aircraft Carrier Landing System (ACLS).  This includes the AN/SPN-10, AN/SPN-42 and the AN/SPN-46.  The AN/SPN-46 is presently the landing system used by the US Navy.  ACLS enables automatic hands off landings aboard the US carriers.  Would anyone like to write a short history of the company once its name was changed to Bell Aerospace? -Mikedz 19:44, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Misspelling 

message: The page states, "the new plant produced hundreds of Consolidated B-24 Liberators."
The sites dedicated to Marietta and the "Bell Bomber" list only B-29s, with a couple of mentions of the P-39 and P-63.
The Wikipedia page for B-24 lists Consolidated (San Diego, Fort Worth), Douglas (Tulsa), North American (Dallas/Grand Prairie) and Ford (Willow Run) as manufacturers. The same list can be derived from the variant listings in _Great American Bombers of WWII_ (Hess, Johnsen, Marshall; MBI Publishing; ) pp157-161.
Eaton's (privately published) A Chronicle of the Aviation Industry in America_, in "Company Activities During 1943", p82, states, "Bell Aircraft Corp, entrusted with the design and construction of the first jet-propelled fighter plane in America, produces the YP-59 'Airacomet.' Company also turns out 4,945 P-39 'Airacobras' and 28 'Kingcobra' fighters. Four B-29 'Superfortresses' are delivered from Bell's Marietta, GA, plant."
Can someone produce a citation for the B-24 reference?

message: Under the "Products" section, the "Aircraft" table doesn't have a listing for the Bell P-59 Airacomet  jet aircraft. I can't see any reason for this omission. TGC55 (talk) 11:18, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
