Apparent discrepancy in data of article

edit

The text makes reference to the extremely low aspect ratio of this design (3.0). The AR computed from the wing data given below is 3.51, still extremely low but not as bad as the text indicates. AR = (wingspan)^2 / (wing area) = (22.416667)^2/143 = 3.514 Raymondwinn (talk) 12:03, 18 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Looks like you forgot about the width of the fuselage. Please don't insert your own conclusions into articles. --Rlandmann (talk) 05:29, 21 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
