Talk:14-X

Page overhaul
The 14-X is a hypersonic engine in development, not a vehicle in itself. The 14-X S, 14-X SP, 14-X W, 14-X WP are vehicles built to demonstrate the 14-X engine. As such, much of content in the page was misleading or confusing and had to be cleaned up.


 * "Hypersonic glide vehicle" The 14-XW and 14-XWP will be gliders, the first two demonstrators will use a VSB-30 booster.
 * "Short Range Ballistic Missile" Whilst hypersonic technology can be used for ballistic missiles, there is no known Brazilian SRBM in use or in development which involves the 14-X scramjet.
 * Specifications section: The right way to do this would be by having one of those sections for each of the demonstrator vehicles, but I couldn't find the data.
 * Apogee of the 14-X S test flight: One of the images in the Air Force article (https://www.fab.mil.br/noticias/mostra/38395/OPERA%C3%A7%C3%A3O%20CRUZEIRO%20-%20FAB%20realiza%20primeiro%20teste%20de%20voo%20do%20motor%20aeron%C3%A1utico%20hipers%C3%B4nico%2014-X) lists it as 280km (https://www.fab.mil.br/sis/enoticias/imagens/original/43035/opcruzeiro2.jpeg) but the text mentions it as 160km. This CNN article (https://www.cnnbrasil.com.br/business/conheca-o-projeto-14-x-de-tecnologia-hipersonica-desenvolvido-pela-fab/) chose the 160km option, and I think it's probably the right choice here as well.
