Talk:Fairey Delta 2

I have just redirected Fairey FD-2 to this page, and moved some info contained only on that page into this one. However, I am wondering whether Fairey FD-2 might be the better title for this article. I can't find any precedent to say which would be more correct. Nick Moss 01:37, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually, according to my sources (an Aeroplane Monthly article on Peter Twiss in the April 1984 issue), the Fairey Delta 2's designation was written as F.D.2.


 * Likewise, the earlier Fairey Delta 1 was written as F.D.1.


 * I'm not sure of the correctness of the FD-2 name but I won't change it as there's a chance it may come from a more accurate source, although I think that's unlikely. Ian Dunster 12:49, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Comparable aircraft
Aren't at least the Saab 35 Draken, possibly also the Convair F-102 Delta Dagger/F-106 Delta Dart or Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21/Chengdu J-7 appropriate comparable aircrafts? The 35 is rather similar (and a common comparison to the Dassault_Mirage_III), and it's "210" version was a dedicated concept test aircraft. --Rootmoose (talk) 10:43, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Tailless aircraft?
The body text states that the Fairey Delta 2 is a Tailless aircraft, yet the images associated with the article show a tail, is this correct? Best Regards DynamoDegsy (talk) 10:18, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
 * The article on tailless aircraft explains that the term applies to a type with no horizontal stabiliser (tailplane or foreplane), though it may have a fin and rudder. The FD2 is of this type. &mdash; Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 11:26, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Why is the drawing the infobox image?
The infobox displays a drawing of the Fairey Delta 2, why not use an image in the article? Just wondering if this is on purpose. A-37Dragonfly (talk) 23:58, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
