A fact from Non-ballistic atmospheric entry appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 14 May 2015 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that boost-glide spacecraft (X-20 pictured) were originally designed as bombers to attack New York from Nazi Germany?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2015/May. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Boost-glide.

Merge with Skip reentry?

Don't merge - These are two different concepts. Boost-glide applies to terrestrially launched suborbital vehicles. Skip reentry can refer to any spacecraft, including interplanetary missions that use skip-reentry for extraterrestrial landings. Also related: Aerogravity assist, Aerobraking, and Aerocapture. All these articles could be merged into the article Atmospheric entry (as subtopics), but that article is pretty long as it is. Sparkie82 (t•c) 03:37, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Don't merge. They seem to be separate concepts, though related. Fences&Windows 22:13, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Avangard (hypersonic glide vehicle)

The article contains various references to the Avangard (hypersonic glide vehicle). They're mostly poorly written and unsourced.

The Avangard article covers the subject well enough with plenty of WP:reliable sources. What I can't work out is how much of that article to insert into this article. I think maybe just "significant dates" but I'm uncertain.

Something needs doing - what? Any thoughts from anyone?
