Was the C-97 based on the B-29 (as stated in the opening paragraph), or on the B-50 (as stated in the info box)? 194.237.142.7 11:19, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
The XC-97 and YC-97s were based on the B-29. All other C-97s and B377s were developed from the much improved B-50.
Though the basic design of the B-29 and B-50 were similar, their structures were quite different. The wings, engines, and engine nacelles were totally different. The vertical stabilizers and rudder were totally different. The intermediate design, the XB-44, had the structure of a B-29A modified to accept R-4360 engines instead of R-3350s. It is simply wrong to say that the C-97 (B367) and B377 were derived from the B-29. Mark Lincoln ( talk) 21:13, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
I noticed the following at the top of the article:
I decided to work on an update. As a first step, I did some research on the topic, and found some good, relevant external links. As the External links section was empty, I added them to this section. As I update the article, I'll move those used references within the article, so the net list of external links will be a bit shorter than it is right now. -- 4wajzkd02 ( talk) 00:17, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
The previous cruise speed figures of "212 knots (300 mph, 393 km/h)" do not match up across units. From my research, the 300mph figure is accurate, so the values for other units were changed so they corresponded: 260 knots (300 mph, 482 km/h) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.158.1.166 ( talk) 21:05, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
