Talk:Yakovlev Yak-140

Competitors
Do we know specifically which MiG and Sukhoi aircraft were favored over this aircraft? Parsecboy (talk) 02:34, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
 * They're probably the Sukhoi T-3 and the Ye-4 prototype of the MiG-21, but my source doesn't specifically name them.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 03:04, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

chronology
The article's last two paragraphs jump around quita a bit, time-wise. The engine wasn't ready until 1956, and then proved to be too powerful (requiring a rebuild, from the looks of it), but the air ministry forbade testing in early 1956?--Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 19:22, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Not at all, the engine was estimated not to be available until '56 so they went ahead and used an AM-9 instead, but MAP prevented it from actually flying in 55.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 22:33, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

merge from Yakolev Yak-140
More or less duplicate article with wrong name. Some content should be merged into this one and redirected. --Denniss (talk) 14:20, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by)    15:11, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Support Oppose  No, two entirely separate aircraft developed around the same time using different engines. Read a bit more carefully.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:14, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Are you saying there were two different aircraft types assigned the Yak-140 designation? Or that there is an actual company called Yakolev that also used the "Yak" prefix? - BilCat (talk) 15:24, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Actually, they do appear to be the smae aircraft, both the AM-11 and AM-9 being mentioned in both articles. The other specs are quite close too. However, the editor who wrote Yakolev article has had trouble getting his facts right in other articles, so I wouldn't use any of his material before double-checking with his given source. - BilCat (talk) 15:31, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Look at the photos. Yak-1000 has T-tail, cockpit very close to the nose, no visible shock cone in the air intake and cropped delta wing planform. Yak-140 has mid-position tail, conventional swept wing, etc. God knows the Yak-140 article needs to be cleaned up, but it's a legitimate article.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 16:16, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Um, I think you're confusing the two pages. This page is being proposed to be merged into from Yakolev Yak-140, a spelling error page. Yakovlev Yak-1000 and Yakolev Yak-1000 are an entierly seperate merge proposal. That said, Support. - The Bushranger Return fire Flank speed 16:36, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * OOPs, I hadn't noticed the difference in spelling.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 17:26, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
