Airspeed

Did NASA really use mph for airspeed ? If not, I suggest airspeed shown as knots instead. Knots or nautical miles per hour is standard in modern aviation. And inside the troposphere the space shuttle "became" an aircraft. Boeing720 (talk) 23:17, 21 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File:Enterprise free flight.jpg

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Enterprise free flight.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on June 20, 2014. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2014-06-20. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. Thanks! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:41, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the day

The prototype Space Shuttle Enterprise in free flight during its second Approach and Landing Test at the Dryden Flight Research Center in Edwards Air Force Base, California, in 1977. The series of taxi and flight trials tested the shuttle's flight characteristics, both on its own and when mated to the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft. The aerodynamic tail cone visible in this image was intended to reduce its drag in the mated configuration.Photo: NASA

Add link to article, 'pitot tube'?

Text reads, "Enterprise used an air data probe mounted on its nose for these flights." - is this referring to a Pitot Tube? If yes, please add link. Brh418 (talk) 03:55, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
