Talk:Carreidas 160

Engines
The article says:
 * The three Rolls-Royce RB272 afterburning turbofan engines with sharp, squared-off intakes power the Carreidas 160, one centrally located and two on either side.

The article Rolls-Royce RB282 says the first variation of the engine is to be taken into use in 2012, almost half a century after Flight 714 was published. Am I missing something here, or is this just confusion between the two model numbers RB282 and RB272? Why does the link say RB272 and go to RB282 in the first place?

 * JIP, thanks for your observation; you are quite right for pointing out this discrepancy, which arose from the need to state Roger Leloup's design that definitely calls for the Rolls-Royce RB272 and our need to try to find an article to link it to (there is no Wikipedia article for the Rolls-Royce RB272). Perhaps the Rolls-Royce RB282 article isn't a good fit. A quick Internet search for the RB272 turns up nothing; perhaps Leloup's RB272 is entirely fictional. I found Wikipedia articles for Rolls-Royce R, Rolls-Royce RB211, and Rolls-Royce Turbomeca RTM322; the latter of which mentions the joint venture between the two aircraft engine companies Rolls Royce and Turbomeca, the other word that the fictional character Laszlo Carreidas uses in the book when describing the engine, as stated in the article. This brings the realisation that perhaps we should link, not to a specific engine model, but to the joint venture between the two aircraft engine manufacturers. I have changed the article to link to Rolls-Royce Turbomeca Limited. Let me know if you have thoughts on the matter and thanks again. Prhartcom (talk) 13:52, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
