Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Hello, I'm ZLEA. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, HAL Tejas Mk2, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. ZLEA _T\^C 02:29, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

I believe the revert to be wrong, the max speed is at altitude unless sea level is specified. There is no source specifying max speed at sea level. This aircraft hasn't flown yet so i don't expect anyone to find a reliable source that specifies that the claimed max speed is at sea level. Not everyone editing wikipedia understands Mach conversion and how it relates to altitude so i think it's just a bad conversion behind the current value 919181512a (talk) 00:23, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

The cited source does not specify an altitude at all - and certainly doesn't give an altitude to four significant figures - like your calculation. In the absence of a source, then we should just state the Mach number and not make any assumption about what altitude is appropriate - i.e. just state Mach 1.8. Note that the numerical speed and the mach number don't necessarily correspond, as they appear to come from different sources. Also note that some of the sources claimed are general newspapers, which aren't the best source for detailed technical specs.Nigel Ish (talk) 15:49, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

The claim that max speed is at sea level is unsourced and it's common practice that aircraft max speed is at altitude unless sea level is specified.

It's the unsourced claim that max speed is at sea level that needs to be verified since it deviates from common practice not the other way around.

There isn't any real sources for max speed since the aircraft has not made it's maiden flight yet (first flight expected 2026 or 2027) and the claims cited by newspapers are only projected.

About the altitude used it's common to use the max altitude but if you use 10000 meters instead of 15240m in the convert the difference in max speed will only be 10km/h.

Either remove the converted speed or assume common practice (at altitude).

Please continue this discussion at Talk:HAL Tejas Mk2. 919181512a (talk) 02:03, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

I forgot to type that Mach 1.8 at sea level would make HAL Tejas Mk2 the fastest fighter jet in the world.

Here are some Mach speeds at sea level for common jets: F-15 M1.2, MIG-31 M1.21, F-16 M1.2, Rafale M1.1, Typhoon M1.25, Gripen M1.2, SU-35 M1.13, F-22 M1.21 919181512a (talk) 21:54, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
