Article expansion

I am currently working on expanding the text of the article at User:BillCJ/Sandbox/Sikorsky X2. Feel free to contribute there. Thanks. - BillCJ 04:44, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Military helicopters

Is this aircraft being funded by a military service or by DARPA? I thought this was a private research venture by Sikorsky to expand the technology and information on coaxial rotor systems. It carries no X-plane or X-helicopter designation. Just wondering. --Born2flie 18:26, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oops! It was probably left over from the article I used to start the page (Sikorsky S-69 I believe). I've removed. I don't usually mess with the cats (as you've noticed before!), so thanks for spotting that. To my knowledge, it is a private project, though some DARPA funds may be involved. - BillCJ 18:57, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Readiness

The X2 demonstrator is a fully internally funded project (hence some of the delays experienced over the last couple years). Prototype is about 90% complete at Schweizer/Sikrosky "Hawkworks" in Elmira, NY and is being prepped for unloaded ground testing. Theres a lot of info thats not in public domain as of yet, so I need to triple check what is allowed to be divulged.--Cefoskey 16:25, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Generally, any info that has been publically released is usable, either in Sikorsky press releases, or in reliable publications. Anything else would be original research anyway, and not usable.

I have a sandbox page set up at User:BillCJ/Sandbox/Sikorsky X2. It has a couple of large article texts in it, but needs to be rewritten to avoid copyvios. I intended to get to this in June, but have been distracted, and keep forgetting to get back to it. Rewriting large amounts of text is not my best attribute, so I keep procrastinating. If you'd like to work on it, feel free - Form you work on the V-22 page, you seem to be good at rewriting text - disputes not withstanding, I mean that sincerely. I would love to have the expanded article ready by the time the X2 is rolled out or makes its first flight. - BillCJ 17:11, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
