[edit] P-39 Airacobra Cannon

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))

[edit] Bell aircraft built by other firms

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)

[edit] Bell Aerospace

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)
