* There is obviously a major range of uncertainty as to the dimensions of this aicraft. Open sources report a length of 47 meters and a 45 meter wingspan - a length/wingspan ratio of 1.04. But widely disseminated line art, that seems to agree with photographs of the aircraft, indicate a length/wingspan ratio of 0.95, while some Chinese line art [with clear defects], urges a length/wingspan ratio of 1.08.
