Talk:NAMC YS-11

Details
The list of variants is almost useless without any details; can any Japanese-speakers look at the Featured Article version of this page and include the information? Zeppomedio (talk) 22:45, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

TCAS

 * Since equipping a YS-11 with TCAS would have cost ¥100 million ($1.083 million USD), such a retrofit was deemed economically unsound.

Are you kidding me... $1 million to put a TCAS unit in the plane and wire it into the plane's electrical system? I am putting "citation needed" on this. -70.233.148.177 (talk) 03:30, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Only?
With respect to the statement "the YS-11 is the only successful commercial aircraft to have been manufactured by a Japanese firm": How about the Mitsubishi MU-2, for example? I think it counts as a commercial aircraft, and might even have been used as a commuter airliner. I flew, as a non paying passenger, in an MU-2 in use as a light freighter in the USA. 7802mark (talk) 23:09, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Aircraft on Display
I saw a partial cockpit (seats, instrument panel, center pedastel, flight controls) of an actual aircraft (for kids to play with) in the terminal of Kumamoto Airport. --133.56.199.80 (talk) 05:26, 10 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the observation, as for the article we dont normally mention bits of aircraft if complete ones exist unless they are historically noteworthy. MilborneOne (talk) 08:35, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

Translating from Japanese
Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I've started translating some of the Japanese page on the YS-11 into English. I've just finished a short section on the naming of the aircraft, and any comments on the formatting would be appreciated. Yosoemon (talk) 01:14, 22 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Just added another translated section (In Popular Culture). I wasn't sure how to format the Japanese citation correctly, so any corrections would be welcome. Yosoemon (talk) 01:22, 23 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Added more translated content, and a new section "End of Production." The original Japanese lacked any citations, so I added the reference to the Board of Audit's website. Yosoemon (talk) 23:33, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

something is not right
The airline that performed the first commercial flight of the YS-11 is linked to Japan Air Commuter. However that airline was founded in 1983, and the article says that it first had a commercial flight in 1965. Someone either make an article of the correct airline or do something about it.KingAviationKid (talk) 16:27, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I have been waiting and nobody has responded to correct the issue. I don't know a Japan Air Commuter in the operators section that was founded before 1965. The one that it lists did own YS-11s, but the airline was formed in 1983, not pre-1965. Note this is in the infobox 69.71.12.170 (talk) 12:35, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
 * If the information is incorrect, you are more than welcome to make the change, seeing as how no has contested or otherwise invalidated your concerns. If you want more help, change the help me-helped back into a help me, stop by the Teahouse, or Wikipedia's live help channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance.
