KA3N Gorgon III, Gorgon (missile family)
[edit]( Back to T:TDYK )
( Article history links: )
Gorgon IIIC in 1947
- ... that Molt Taylor believed the rocket-powered Gorgon missiles, such as the Gorgon IIIC (pictured), flew at too high a speed to be properly controlled by a human?
"The entire operation is of such speed that the human mind is not capapable of keeping up with the flight" [1], "he thought that the turbojet-powered Gorgon would be more easily controlled" [2]; "This model [Gorgon 3C] has twin rocket units..." [3]

Hi The Bushranger, review follows: Gorgon (missile family) confirmed 5x expansion starting from 6 December, KA3N Gorgon III created 6 December; both articles are of a very good length; both articles are well written; both articles are inline referenced throughout to reliable and appropriate sources; no copyright violations or overly close paraphrasing noticed; hook sufficiently interesting; hook is cited to an offline hook which I am happy to AGF on; image used in hook and articles is confirmed PD by virtue of US Navy origin; Two QPQ reviews confirmed as in progress or completed - Dumelow (talk) 15:45, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
