The A-309 was the prototype for the A500, and was a one-off design. Such aircraft are almost always handled in the production aircraft's article, and since these are both stubs, it seems appropriate to me to do this here. Akradecki 03:19, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
Done. Akradecki 06:32, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Any talk of a turpboprop version of the A500? I'm sorta surprised they jumped that step to go straight to the jet-powered A700, but is that version supposed to be about the same price of a turboprop version, but with faster performance? - BillCJ 19:50, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
In the performance specifications section there is a statement: Power/mass: 9 hp/lb (W/kg) This seems a bit high, and compared to the numbers could believe 9 lb/hp. However, as I am not familar with the conventions of reporting specs on aircraft (i.e. lb/hp or hp/lb as well as which weight to use) I am going to remove the statement and let the power and weight specs. stand on their own merit.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Bdentremont ( talk)
Thats probably the best thing to do. THese specs tend to be magnets wehre people add every single parameter they can find or produce. The specs are actually only intended to be an overview of basic parameters, and not an exhaustive one. Good call! = BillCJ ( talk) 07:20, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
I think an image of the planform would be especially useful for this plane. You have to look closely at the image that are there to see where the booms are atached to the rest of the plane. That could be seen clearly in a planform image.-- ospalh ( talk) 14:25, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
I'm not sure what the aircraft is that is shown, (Is it a B-52?) but it isn't the Adam A309 - of that I'm certain. Can it be removed or replaced? Regards, Lynbarn ( talk) 14:57, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
