Q: how does the ventral fin contribute to the aerodynamics of the aircraft?
A: The ventral fins stabilise the airframe due to the addition of the MESA RADAR.
The ventral fins also house a HF antenna. There's 3 HF's installed.
Rename: In light of the fact that Turkey and now South Korea have purchased the 737 AEW&C, I'd like to rename the page as Boeing 737 AEW&C. Wedgetail is the project name for the Australian aircraft, and is not used by the other customers. 737 AEW&C is the name by which Boeing refers to the type [1]. - BillCJ 08:40, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
I may be mistanken, but I think Boeing has renamed the type again since 2006. It now refers to the type as Boeing E-7 Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) - ref [2] . It therefore could be considered to rename the article once again. Yosh3000 ( talk) 15:09, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
November 24, 2006 AUSTRALIA'S Wedgetail surveillance aircraft are running two years late and might need a redesign of key components to get them to work properly, Defence has revealed.
Speaking after a two-week visit to Boeing in the United States, Air Vice Marshal Chris Deeble, program manager for the Wedgetail program, expressed confidence that Boeing and its sub-contractors would get it right eventually.
Air Vice Marshal Deeble said final details of a delivery schedule were still to be worked out but on current estimates the first aircraft would now arrive early in 2009.

Is the (projected) surveillance range of this system the same or even better as those on B707 and B767 aircrafts? 84.173.207.138 ( talk) 22:31, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
The wingspan listed in this article is "117 ft 2 in (34.3 m)". If I'm calculating correctly 117 ft 2 in is not 34.3 m. If anybody happens to know the correct wingspan, do us a favor and fix that line. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.79.108.16 ( talk) 09:33, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

The web page name is a bit odd. For other military aircraft, the web page most often includes the official military designation for the airplane type ("E-7" in this particular case). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.73.135.203 ( talk) 17:08, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Move to Boeing E-7 Wedgetail ( non-admin closure) Acebulf ( talk | contribs) 10:41, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
