https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupolev_Tu-125


 * 1) For my stub I chose Tupolev Tu-125. I chose this article because I have an interest in aviation and history.
 * 2) In the article if you go to the talk page the article is rated as a stub.
 * 3) Most military aviation articles on Wikipedia tend to follow a similar pattern. The article will cover areas such as design and development all the way to aircraft specifications. This article talks a little about design but does not give much detail about the design. Also not covered by the article is what the overall project was intended to accomplish other than be a replacement and does not list why the project was rejected.
 * 4) There is only one reference in this article and is a book. The hyperlink on the ISBN listed for the referenced does not take you to information on the book but gives you options on how to locate it.
 * 5) The sections included in the article are design and specification. Similar pages also cover operators, variants, and history.

Assignment #19

1. WS-125

2. The guide I would use for this one would be history. The guide for history articles says not to use news articles from the time, diaries from people involved or archival records.

3. This article has a brief history to introduce the topic but is missing areas such as design and development and operational history. I could contribute by finding information on design and development leading up to the cancellation of the project.

Assignment #22

Fan Disk. I will not be adding a new section rather i will be adding on to the existing structure to improve the article.

Single stage fan was developed to produce high thrust and act as a multi-bladed propeller. Fan disks are attached to a shaft that is driven by a multistage Low Pressure Turbine (LPT) to reduce mechanical stress. While operating there is increased aerodynamic loading on the fan disk while the fan blade tips are traveling faster than sound. A fan blade weighing 15-lbs can experience upwards of 60 tons of centrifugal force.
