Failures due to lack of Stability

[edit]

It's my understanding, from my interactions in '72-'73 with sailors who maintained the DASH, that, after the QH-50C dropped one of it's two Mk44 torpedoes, the system that was supposed to counteract the out-of-balance state of the aircraft failed, and the DASH would simply tilt due to the weight of the remaining torpedo and fall out of the sky. Has anyone else heard anything like that?TCav (talk) 16:54, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Surviving Aircraft

[edit]

I have just replaced the previous paragraphs with a table, adding all the serials,and adding six or seven more entries, while keeping almost all the information from previous contributions. I hope you think it's an improvement. I can find nothing about the airframe in the photo from Fort Polk Military Museum, Louisiana, which doesn't seem to be active. Google Earth shows no exhibits around the building. Was this example moved elsewhere or scrapped? And what was the serial?Lestocq (talk) 19:30, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

PEANUTS. A recent edit mentions "Lucy" is the only surviving Peanuts character. I've never come across mention of other DASH airframes being given Peanuts names. Clarification/expansion would be welcome. Lestocq (talk) 16:48, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Confusing: what tilt-float landing gear?!? Delete or add context

[edit]

"A single QH-50A, (DS-1006) was re-activated after contractor testing to verify the tilt-float landing gear."

The paragraph is confusing and without any context. What "the tilt-float landing gear"? Was it some new program? What program? Why is it even mentioned, is it any relevant to the subject at all? The whole paragraph is only legible to people already acquainted with the program, nobody else.

Please clean up, add context or outright delete. Technicality nitpicker (talk) 11:19, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why not just remove the? The para itself is interesting. Lestocq (talk) 11:29, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Now sorted. Lestocq (talk) 18:26, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
