Payload Improvements

In the development section the article lists a 125% increase in payload over the UH-1N but in the design section it lists the same stat but with 170% increase. Which is it? -Noha307 (talk) 19:48, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bell sources list the 125% on the UH-1Y page and 170% in the pocket guide. Maybe 125% was the minimum goal for the project. Anyway, I combined the text and listed the lower 125%. -fnlayson (talk) 20:29, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
According to Wikipedia, payload increased from 4,500 lbs. to 6,660 lbs. -- a 48% increase (note non-fan-boy arithmetic). Percent is hard, huh? The links are dead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.53.21.210 (talk) 19:14, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Or you're using the wrong figures. - BilCat (talk) 22:43, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Per the article, "Over the years new avionics and radios, in addition to modern door guns and safety upgrades, have greatly increased the UH-1N's empty weight. With a maximum speed of approximately 100 knots (190 km/h) and an inability to lift much more than its own crew, fuel and ammunition, the UH-1N, while useful, is limited in its utility." So obviously the empty weight in service had increased over the listed empty weight. So no, it's not "fan-boy arithmetic". This is why WP doesn't accept original research, but reports what the sources state. Granted, company information has to be taken with a grain of salt, as they are trying promote the new aircraft, but it's reasonable in this case to assume they're right. - BilCat (talk) 22:56, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Whatever. I listed a ratio, the latter. The UH-1N's useful load above may not be right. But if it is then the UH-1Y sources have stated a ratio instead of a percent increase (25% or 70% increase). -Fnlayson (talk) 18:36, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Number of vehicles in service

The article states that 31 are in service, but that was in back in 2010. Can anyone update that statistic? Coolgeek96 (talk) 23:49, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Just updated to 54 in use from Aviation Week's 2014 source book. -Fnlayson (talk) 00:19, 13 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone with adequate sources please update again? Nearly 6 years passed since this. Thanks, DPdH (talk) 19:46, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Did you check the article? The numbers in service is not listed in the article; probably removed by another editor that thinks that info is fluff or something. -Fnlayson (talk) 20:18, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
