	Aircraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fixed-wing aircraft generally use an internal-combustion engine in the form of a piston engine (with a propeller) or a turbine engine (jet or turboprop), to provide thrust that moves the craft forward through the air.
		The major distinction in aircraft usage is between military aviation, which includes all uses of aircraft for military purposes (such as combat, patrolling, search and rescue, reconnaissance, transport, and training), and civil aviation, which includes all uses of aircraft for non-military purposes.
		During World War I many types of aircraft were adapted for attacking the ground or enemy vehicles/ships/guns/aircraft, and the first aircraft designed as bombers were born.

	Aircraft
		Examples of lighter-than-air aircraft include non-steerable balloons, such as hot air balloons and gas balloons[?], and airships (sometimes called dirigible balloons), such as blimps (which have a non-rigid construction) and rigid airships, which have a rigid frame.
		In the case of aerodynamic lift, the aircraft is kept in the air because of aerodynamics, usually by means of wings of some kind.
		The reverse configuration is the canard type, where small horizontal control surfaces are placed towards the nose of the aircraft ahead of the lift surfaces.

	Carlo Kopp's Homepage
		The aircraft exhibits similar power loading and climb rate numbers to the P-51 or late model Spitfire, but is substantially lighter and has a lower wing loading.
		The aircraft rolls and pitches very nicely, and is very easy to fly precisely in basic aerobatic manoeuvres, and at low level.
		The aircraft is by far the nicest GA type I have flown, and is well suited to intermediate and many advanced competition manoeuvres (Manufacturer's Photo).

	Aircraft Electrical Wire Types by Alex Paterson
		It would appear that even aircraft manufacturers themselves are not completely sure as to what wire is installed in individual aircraft as their attitude towards wire in the past has been "wire is wire".
		All aircraft use their airframe as their electrical earth return pathway resulting in significant constraints in the operation of protection devices such as circuit breakers located in the cockpit.
		According to the America's foremost independent aircraft wire expert, Edward Block, this type of wire is just Kapton with a cosmetic coating of Teflon which is used for marking purposes only and does little to reduce Kapton's propensity to explosively arc track.

	II - OVERVIEW: TYPES OF AIRCRAFT
		Although these aircraft typically lack the advanced electronic and other countermeasures needed to survive in a high-threat environment, they continue to pose a significant challenge to less sophisticated foes lacking in modern air-defenses, or deprived of air defenses by combat.
		This type generally carries anywhere from 1 to 5 tons of ordnance to a combat radius of from 500 to 1,000 kilometers at supersonic speeds.
		Aircraft in this category generally carry anywhere from 1 to 2 tons of ordnance to a combat radius of from 300 to 700 kilometers at supersonic speeds.

	Successful aircraft types - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Over the history of flight there have been a number of particularly successful aircraft types.
		Many measures of success are possible, including fitness to task, safety record, outstanding performance in any of several dimensions, longevity in service, or the sheer number produced.
		A few of the most heavily produced aircraft in history are commonly dismissed as barely competent types that happened to be ordered in vast numbers simply because of circumstances, but the most-produced types listed below are regarded as examples of outstanding merit.

	General Aviation Flying - Different Kinds & Types of Aircraft
		Turbojet (jet) aircraft comprise 4 percent of the GA fleet.
		This type of airplane was very common before World War II and continues to be popular today among stunt and agricultural pilots.
		These aircraft combine the vertical takeoff, hover, and landing capabilities of a helicopter with the forward speed of a turboprop.

	Continental Siege Aircraft, by Greg Costikyan
		Which map edge an aircraft enters on is determined by the initial positions of the owning player's units.
		For instance, an aircraft starting in hex 0508 pointing towards the hex juncture formed by hexes 0507 and 0407 could move to either of those hexes (0507 or 0407).
		Aircraft may end their movement stacked with other aircraft, and/or with ground units.

	Model Aircraft Engine Types
		There are a variety of engine types available to us and every few years a type we never had before becomes available.
		Ducted fan aircraft depend on high fan RPM to produce their thrust and only a two-cycle can produce these kinds of RPM.
		When large aircraft first started appearing at flying fields they were powered by converted chain saw and weed-eater engines.

		Fixed-wing aircraft generally use an internal-combustion engine and propeller or jet engine to provide thrust, which moves the craft forward through the air.
		The reverse configuration is the canard type, where small horizontal control surfaces are placed forward of the wings, near the nose of the aircraft.
		Different types exist, such as the ramjet, pulse jet, turbojet, and the turboprop, the latter of which still uses a propeller.

	Military Aircraft Parking Standards (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Since several military mission types of aircraft are not included in these general codes, the following enhanced definitions are recommended.
		The Aircraft Type codes are mostly those which have already been adopted by ICAO as the aircraft type codes for ATC use.

	All Hands - January 2001 - Naval Aircraft
		The EA-6B, a twin-engine, mid-wing aircraft designed for carrier and advanced base operations, is used to provide an umbrella of protection for strike aircraft by jamming enemy radar, electronic data links and communications.
		The S-3B, a jet aircraft used for anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare, is extremely versatile and can be equipped for tanking, mining and limited electronic surveillance.
		The C-2A is the principal aircraft used for COD (carrier on-board delivery) of personnel and material.

		A very well prepared and presented website which provides basic fact sheets about a large number of vintage military aircraft types which are privately owned and still flying.
		However, the webmaster's interests extend to interesting photographs of many types, including four collections of public domain photos of military aircraft with vapor clouds, which are available in large format for download.
		This website is nicely laid out, with sections on different types of fighters, bombers, transports, trainers, helicopters and special purpose aircraft, however there isn't much information on the pages dedicated to the different models of aircraft, only a few photos and basic technical information with no historical data.
