Designation

[edit]

Where does the "Ø" in "L45ØF" come from? Vectorsite lists the model as "L450F", which makes me think that perhaps the "Ø" is a transcription error from somewhere for the slashed zero, and not the Scnadinavian letter Ø. Thanks. - BilCat (talk) 08:33, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The only ghits for "L45ØF" relate to WP and its mirrors. - BilCat (talk) 08:48, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the delay getting back to you, Bill. The Ø came from the entry on the aircraft in [i]Jane's All The World's Aircraft 1971-1972[/i]. I do see the "normal 0" elsewhere, but wondered if that was the error?. - The Bushranger Return fireFlank speed 18:24, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'd go with moving the article to LTV L450F based on the closest source to the original company, which is L-3, plus the other reliable source, Flight International, as outweiging the Janes entry. We can add a footnote to the Lead noting that Jane's list it as "L45ØF", or even parenthetically in the Lead. Will that work? Also, it might be good to see if the aircraft is listed in a later edition of Janes for comparison. - BilCat (talk) 18:38, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I will add that the current page title does make it hard for people with an English keyboard to search for the article, so I would support moving it! - Ahunt (talk) 18:41, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Works for me. :) - The Bushranger Return fireFlank speed 18:48, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
