This article, while short, is close to meeting the Good Article criteria. I made some copyedits throughout the article; please review to ensure I did not change the meaning or stray too far from offline sources I couldn't access. Please also review and comment on the following concerns:

  • I added a link to afterburner in the lead since the inclusion of the afterburner seems to have been a key addition to this aircraft; is there an appropriate article on the use of composite materials in aircraft that composite material construction could link to?
  • Second paragraph of Design and development needs at least one citation at the end of the paragraph, and more if applicable.
    • Indeed it does.
  • "Flight testing revealed severe aerodynamic problems, mostly caused by the airfoil section and thickness of the wing, but the vertical stabilizer had to be redesigned to smooth out the airflow at the intersection of the horizontal and vertical stabilizers." But doesn't sound right here; perhaps this would work better as two sentences if the two thoughts aren't closely connected?
  • I added a redlink for Texas Naval Reserve; is there a more appropriate article this could link to?
GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose):   b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):  
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references):   b (citations to reliable sources):   c (OR):  
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects):   b (focused):  
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:  
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:  
  6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):   b (appropriate use with suitable captions):  
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:  
    This GAN is placed   on hold pending resolution of the above concerns.
