Aesthetics[edit]

I was glad to see this article addressed the butt-ugliness of the Boeing proposal. If it had been selected, we would have all had to resign en masse from the human race. Raymondwinn (talk) 22:11, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I swear I saw something in the news about how the aesthetics affected the outcome of the competition. If I find it I'll add it, as it's a serious public policy/money/jobs issue.Pär Larsson (talk) 17:00, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Boeing JSF X-32 on tarmac.jpg[edit]

Image:Boeing JSF X-32 on tarmac.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

File:Boeing JSF X-32 on tarmac.jpg again[edit]

There are two free content images to show the appearance of the X-32. Is it necessary to include a third, non-free one? Angus McLellan (Talk) 19:39, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The difference is explained in the caption. This image is of a different configuration to be used on the production version. The X-32 has delta wings; the production version was to add horizontal stabilizers. -Fnlayson (talk) 20:33, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Huh?[edit]

This article states: "Boeing had proposed, in the 1960s, a similar supersonic fighter with a mid-center-of-gravity mounted engine with vectored thrust nozzles, but this never proceeded beyond pictures published in Aviation Week." One wonders where "pictures published in Aviation Week" fit into the development program for the aircraft in question - was it a milestone? Sounds more like some enthusiast's POV or original research. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.158.48.18 (talk) 18:48, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Monica" nickname[edit]

The article claims a source for this, but the linked source does not mention it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.172.161.8 (talk) 05:49, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
