Trivia

• The stats given on the Firedrake website are completely different whether you look at the left hand stats panel or read the main text:
  • The panel says it uses two Allison X-900 engines, but in-text it says it's powered by Tornado G500 engines.
  • The panel says it can reach 37,000 feet, but in-text it says it's actually 35,000 feet.
  • The panel says it can reach 200 m.p.h., but in text it's listed as 250 m.p.h.
  • The panel says the operational range is 750 miles, but in-text it says the aircraft can reach 800 miles providing it doesn't go above 180 m.p.h.
