Talk:BAE Systems Taranis

No supersonic ability planned?

The citation for planned supersonic flight makes no such claim.

It says "Though unarmed it is expected to provide the basis for future fleets of supersonic stealth drone bombers [...]."

This is just speculation of possible future aircraft, not information on the Taranis. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.11.16.250 (talk) 11:36, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

Requested move

Page moved. But I wonder if the redirect from Taranis (UAV) would be a better name? Vegaswikian (talk) 22:14, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

• BAE Taranis → BAE Systems Taranis

– BAE Systems is not BAE. Why was this article moved away from the correct title? Petebutt (talk) 11:12, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Agree - I dont think it has been moved before, as far as I can see it has always been BAE Taranis, that said I dont have a problem with a move to BAE Systems Taranis. MilborneOne (talk) 19:43, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

Flight tested in Woomera, Australia in 2010?

According to http://www.woomera.com.au/ the Taranis was tested at the Australian Woomera Test Range in 2010.

The web site appears to be authored via WordPress and contains many historical facts about Woomera and its history.

A whois lookup reveals the domain is currently owned by an Australian company BBHINDS PTY LTD (ACN 151 705 832). This makes the ownership and purpose of the web site questionable, however the content still appears reliable based on other historical facts presented.

Cutting Steel

With reference to this generic term for the start of manufacture - just how much steel is Taranis likely to contain? Lots of aluminium alloys and composites, but probably not much steel in the airframe. Perhaps a different term would be more suitable? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.109.66.151 (talk) 07:54, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

From your friendly hard working bot.—cyberbot II ^Notify_Online 11:19, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

 Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II ^Notify_Online 21:05, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

What Happened To The Image?

I uploaded a MOD/BAE photo of the drone along with the video; however, somehow it has completely disappeared and I cannot understand why, seemingly it has been deleted on Wikipedia Commons but I cannot trace the origin or reasoning behind its deletion, it has just 'gone'.....Twobells^t@lk 11:06, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

It was deleted by Fastily https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:BAE_Taranis_In_Flight.jpg As is usual for Fastily, no explanation was given. By alleging "copyvio" he can delete such images immediately, without needing to give any explanation, and without review by other editors (were you a Communist in the 1950s?). You might, I suspect, claim that this was part of a freely licensed media pack released by BAE themselves (sourcing that pack clearly, and their licence, with live online links would help your case). If so, and if this met Commons' view of "freely licensed", then they should have been kept (in many cases such packs are acceptable for WP use, but they're not OK for Commons as they limit future commercial or derivative uses). By deleting without discussion though, Fastily can preserve the over-riding aims of the bureaucracy above the encyclopedia, giving other editors no scope for challenge. Andy Dingley (talk) 12:09, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

@Andy Dingley:thanks for your feedback, I received from BAE the media pack from which I subsequently uploaded to Wiki Commons the drone test footage and images for use on Wikipedia including the details on ownership, however, I'll have to speak with their press dept regarding live, online licencing links., many thanks. Twobells^t@lk 19:40, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

The question is, did BAE "freely license" this? The definition of which is according to Commons, COM:Licensing.

If they did (no restrictions on derivatives or commercial use), then it's a matter for COM:OTRS (paperwork to record it).

If they only released it under a restricted licence, it's probably OK to upload at Wikipedia but not at Commons. It will also need a WP:FUR adding to the image page. Again, no big deal. Andy Dingley (talk) 23:11, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Power plant thrust

Hi, I'm feeling like a bit of a numpty here; the thrust specified for the non afterburning Adour engine is not even close as an approximation and I can't for the life of me work out how to amend the section (I get the template but can't enter the KN equivalent).Kitbag (talk) 10:28, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
