Talk:American Champion Citabria

Untitled
For whatever it's worth (before anyone asks), titling this article simply Citabria makes sense. The aircraft article naming guidelines don't quite address the complicated situation that applies here. The Citabria (in all its varieties) is a significant enough variant to deserve a separate article from Aeronca Champ. This article could be called Champion Citabria, on the rationale that Champion was the designer and original manufacturer, but this isn't the name generally thought of first today. This article could be called Bellanca Citabria, on the rationale that Bellanca produced—according to some sources—the largest combined count of these designs. This article could be called American Champion Citabria, on the rationale that this is the current owner and producer of the design. The choice of the name Citabria seems to settle these competing claims in accordance with the suggestion of the general naming conventions to "use the most common name of a person or thing that does not conflict with the names of other people or things."

Perhaps in the opening description the(incorrect?)alternate spelling of "Citaborea" should be included; as well as perhaps the reasoning behind the error. This seems to be a common mistake when referencing this aircraft and its variants. 199.46.245.233 20:22, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Pronunciation
Anyone know the "right" way to say Citabria? Shreditor 04:25, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

I can tell you the only way I've heard it said consistently over 35+ years around aviation: si-tä-brE-&. Four syllables, with the "special" pronunciation symbols meaning the following: ä pronounced as the o in top, E pronounced as the ea in east, and & pronounced as the u in butt.
