[edit] Claim to be first paperless aircraft

I think we should remove the claim from The Economist stating that the Falcon 7X is the first fully CAD-designed aircraft. It's not a direct quote and it is in direct contradiction with what everyone knows: that the 777 was first, and it even used Dassault's own software. We can find plenty of citations for this (including the NOVA documentary.) And there were plenty of other aircraft in the interim that were entirely CAD-based as well, particularly on the military side. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 07:50, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

They did (or do) not claim 7X to be the first fully CAD-designed aircraft (this is an error in the Economist article), but to be the first aircraft developed in a virtual development platform. This includes full CAD-design, but what was added was the fact that the partners were able to define their parts of the aircraft in-house and share these parts with the others in a virtual environment, with Dassault and others around the globe. See here, here and here for example. Hervegirod 10:55, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Dassault Falcon 7X Flight Deck.jpg

Image:Dassault Falcon 7X Flight Deck.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
