Specifications source

[edit]

The source used for the Specifications section (seen here) does not mention any of the specs in the article. Does anyone have a good source to cite? — TadgStirkland401 (TadgTalk) 03:00, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How does it not ? In the second page, on the right, i used those specs. Dauby09 (talk) 19:25, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Dauby09, my apologies. I was looking at it using my phone and missed it. You are right. Thank you. — TadgStirkland401 (TadgTalk) 23:54, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
no problem altho the specs could be improved Dauby09 (talk) 08:12, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Dauby09, I suspect, now that a little of the secrecy has been lifted, that information will be forthcoming in the next couple years. It’ll probably be even longer before we learn what avionics she carries. I’ve got quite a long interest in expanding/improving that part of many aircraft articles. — TadgStirkland401 (TadgTalk) 09:08, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Empty Weight > Max Takeoff weight? How does it fly? MTO listed matches that for base GulfStream G550 in its article Empty weight needs Update. Wfoj3 (talk) 00:05, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

i changed the empty weight to 48300lbs, which is what the source lists as "wheight" Dauby09 (talk) 05:55, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Max speed spec not correct

[edit]

max speed listed as mach 1.0, if this is a g550 airframe/powerplant, this is not correct. Should be mach 0.885 or there abouts. 2603:9001:3906:E46B:172F:34B6:5AC:151F (talk) 15:46, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Banshee name

[edit]

All sources I can find for the "Banshee" name seem to be WP:BLOGS, YouTube videos, and factually sketchy military-themed clickbait websites possibly affected by citogenesis. Does anyone have a quality WP:SECONDARY source for the name? Carguychris (talk) 22:00, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Great point! Also, if a WP:RS is found, the name might well be mentioned in the Designation section. — TadgStirkland401 (TadgTalk) 22:16, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox picture

[edit]

I’m a bit concerned that the pic in the infobox is identical to the one used on the EL/W-2085 article with caption saying it’s an “RSAF Gulfstream IAI G550 CAEW”. The farings on this image do not match the pic in the History section of the article. From other images I’ve seen, I believe the History pic is the correct one. Can someone verify? — TadgStirkland401 (TadgTalk) 07:16, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's not the same picture. That one (of a RSAF aircraft) has the landing gear down, this one (of a USAF aircraft) has it up, for starters. Also note the national insignia on the aircraft. The fairings look different because the aircraft pic in the History section hasn't been painted yet and also (possibly) because it was a pre-production model. - The Bushranger One ping only 08:28, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Good catch. Thank you. — TadgStirkland401 (TadgTalk) 08:46, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
