Talk:Lockheed L-1249 Super Constellation

Top Speed
In the text it says the pilot "managed to reach a speed of 479mph in a 20° dive" and that one variant had a top speed of 415mph. In the specs it states the top speed as 479mph. Maximum speed is in level flight, it doesn't count the highest speed that can be reached at any time by the aircraft, and it didn't explain how the cruising speed of one variant can be significantly higher than the top speed of another more or less equivalent aircraft.
