[edit] Refit

I have just done a general cleanup, correcting English, tone, facts, and wikisation. I strongly suspect that material either from advertising texts, or inspired by them (the style of the empty sentences, the way words like "success" are inserted in the text for no good reason, and the usage of trivial words like "skin" instead of "layer" match the style of the advertisement of the general public).

Ah, and he first flight was by Clément Ader; no need to say not only unrelated, but also incorrect things. Rama 09:27, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Specs should be removed

As this is a project to build a plane, the specs are crystalballery at best. From all I can find, the design is not even finalized yet. In a similar vein, the "timeline" should at least be clearly described as goals of the project. Can anyone with more current information confirm the completion of the stages who's dates have past?

You mean is it possible to say that the project has gone through "Concept", "design" and "simulation" stages ? I wonder whether those working on the project could, even without bending these terms to match expectations in their reports. Only when they sart building substential will this have any sort of meaning. Rama 06:47, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
