What is the "sfc"? When I know, "SFC" will become a disambiguation page as "SFC" also stands for the Super Famicom WhisperToMe 17:31, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC)

A bit late to reply I know but 'sfc' stands for Specific fuel consumption. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.7.147.13 (talk) 17:56, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment[edit]

With some inline citations this would easily be a B-class article. --Colputt 17:41, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Someone should do something about the speculation as to why the PRTs caused trouble. It was the turbines themselves.Mark Lincoln (talk) 19:44, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
