Talk:Boeing X-40

Contradiction
Text says the first drop was by a Blackhawk. Infobox says Chinook. Can't be both. 67.169.32.224 (talk) 04:22, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Russian first
Wasn't the Russian Buran fully autonomous? 23:45, 9 August 2006 70.185.20.205

Yes, Buran made its spaceflight and landing in automated regime 15 November 1988. This is almost 10 years before X-40. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buran_(spacecraft)

85%?
Article on the Boeing X-37 says it is 120% of the size of the Boeing X-40, but this X-40 article says it's an 85% size model of the X-37. The math doesn't add up. Which is correct? (Crossposted to the other article) Tempshill (talk) 19:59, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * 1/120% = 83.3̅%, I'd say that's close enough. But which one is a derivative of the other?--87.162.26.17 (talk) 11:21, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I agree with "close enough". If the correct number is the 120% from X-37, then this one would be 83.3% (as stated above), if this 85% is correct, then X-37 should say 117.6%. And whichever was the source number might have been rounded anyway. For a general encyclopedia, worrying about that degree of precision is a distinction without a difference. 173.26.205.136 (talk) 19:54, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Someone can provide info about the wing section of X-40 and X-37 spaceplanes, and body and wings materials, construction, structure? Thanks. Salut + — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.51.132.23 (talk) 20:53, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
