Talk:Ryan X-13 Vertijet

Untitled
How is the X-13 in flight in the picture? Isn't it hanging on its hook?


 * No, the aircraft is in flight - but hovering near its launch/landing trailer. --Rlandmann 01:42, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)

The pilot is Pete Girard, the landing signalman in the trailer basket is believed to be another Ryan test pilot Lou Everett. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.209.206.1 (talk) 19:19, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Thrust to weight ratio
The article says "... had a thrust-to-weight ratio of 1 at low fuel quantities,..." but in the data it lists 1.48. Is this correct? Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 19:51, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

Tail numbers
The article says that the tail numbers of the two surviving craft are "54-1619" and "54-1620". Photos show "41619" and "41620", What is the reason for this difference? Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 06:01, 30 March 2022 (UTC)


 * It's how the USAF displays serial numbers on aircraft. See United States military aircraft serial numbers for an explanation. BilCat (talk) 07:11, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
