Talk:Fairey Delta 2

I have just redirected Fairey FD-2 to this page, and moved some info contained only on that page into this one. However, I am wondering whether Fairey FD-2 might be the better title for this article. I can't find any precedent to say which would be more correct. Nick Moss 01:37, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

Actually, according to my sources (an Aeroplane Monthly article on Peter Twiss in the April 1984 issue), the Fairey Delta 2's designation was written as F.D.2.

Likewise, the earlier Fairey Delta 1 was written as F.D.1.

I'm not sure of the correctness of the FD-2 name but I won't change it as there's a chance it may come from a more accurate source, although I think that's unlikely. Ian Dunster 12:49, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Comparable aircraft

Aren't at least the Saab 35 Draken, possibly also the Convair F-102 Delta Dagger/F-106 Delta Dart or Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21/Chengdu J-7 appropriate comparable aircrafts? The 35 is rather similar (and a common comparison to the Dassault_Mirage_III), and it's "210" version was a dedicated concept test aircraft. --Rootmoose (talk) 10:43, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Tailless aircraft?

The body text states that the Fairey Delta 2 is a Tailless aircraft, yet the images associated with the article show a tail, is this correct? Best Regards DynamoDegsy (talk) 10:18, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

The article on tailless aircraft explains that the term applies to a type with no horizontal stabiliser (tailplane or foreplane), though it may have a fin and rudder. The FD2 is of this type. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 11:26, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Why is the drawing the infobox image?

The infobox displays a drawing of the Fairey Delta 2, why not use an image in the article? Just wondering if this is on purpose. A-37Dragonfly (talk) 23:58, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
