<p><span class="autocomment">Maximum speed: 350 mph in text vs 357 mph in specifications: </span> new section</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Maximum speed: 350 mph in text vs 357 mph in specifications ==<br /> <br /> The article gives two different figures for the maximum speed of the Boeing B-29 Superfortress, and the body text and the specifications table disagree by 7 mph.<br /> <br /> In the armament and performance section, the article states: &quot;In wartime, the B-29 was capable of flight at altitudes up to 31,850 ft, at speeds of up to 350 mph (true airspeed).&quot;<br /> <br /> The specifications table at the end of the article lists: &quot;max speed mph = 357.&quot;<br /> <br /> Both figures are presented as the aircraft&#039;s maximum speed. A gap of 7 mph between the body text (350 mph) and the specifications table (357 mph) is too large to be a rounding artefact — 357 does not round to 350 under any standard convention. The article provides no explanation for why these two statements about the same aircraft&#039;s top speed disagree. [[User:Rome|Rome]] ([[User talk:Rome|talk]]) 23:31, 6 May 2026 (UTC)</div>
