Template:Infobox aircraft/doc

Template page

This category is an index of templates which use TemplateStyles. It is automatically populated by {{Uses TemplateStyles}}.


{{Infobox aircraft}} can be used for aircraft and certain other related aeronautical topics, including aircraft types and programs, and individual aircraft and their careers. It may be used to display general characteristics and features of the item, along with manufacturing details and history as appropriate. For aero engines, you should use {{Infobox aircraft engine}}.

Some parameters in the Infobox are only intended for specific classes of topic and are not recommended for use with the other kinds. If there is already a section discussing the specifications of the aeronautical item, the inclusion of specifications and performance parameters in the Infobox should be skipped.

Parameters

name

The subject of the article. When naming aircraft, please do not repeat the name of the manufacturer unless the name would be otherwise ambiguous. For example, "P-51 Mustang" does not need to have "North American" in front of it: the aircraft name is unambiguous and the manufacturer will be stated just a few lines down in the Type Infobox. Some exceptions exist, such as aircraft which only have model numbers; e.g. "Boeing 707".
image
In the format filename.xxx format with or without 'File:' tag
size or image_size
Allows for the specification of image size; default is 300px.
alt
Alt text for the image, for readers who cannot see the image. Please see WP:ALT for details.
image_border
set to yes to add a thin border to the image
caption
A short (one- or two-line) caption for the image. If it isn't descriptive, then please skip it. "Boeing 747" or "Boeing 747 in flight" should be patently obvious from the context and does not need to be captioned. "A Qantas Airlines Boeing 747-400 at Heathrow Airport in 2006" is an example of a useful caption. Captions will appeared centred in the infobox.
long_caption
A longer (multi-line), more detailed caption may be desirable from time to time. Long captions will appear left-justified in the infobox. Won't display if caption is defined.

other_names

Example: "Spruce Goose" Super Jumbo, Joint Strike Fighter, Tomcat, Eagle, Dreamliner

national_origin

The country where the aircraft or program was manufactured or initiated. List collaborative programs of only 2 or 3 nations; for more than 3, use "Multi-national". For licensed aircraft with a separate article, include both the originating country and the licensee country for simple variants and developments. The originating country may be omitted if it is a derivative design.

manufacturer

the company or companies responsible for designing and building the aircraft.

design_group

the name of the group(s) that designed the aeronautical item. Do not list if same as the manufacturer.

designer

the person who designed the aircraft or led the design. Not appropriate for company chief designers, project leaders, teams, etc. unless they led the actual engineering design.

builder

the group that only builds the aeronautical product, but is not responsible for design of it.

requirement

a formal name or a number for the requirement.

service

the branches of the military or other organizations that have operated the aircraft or program.
Example:United States Air Force, United States Navy, Lufthansa, Emirates, Qantas
One primary user (list one user); for military aircraft, this is a nation or a service arm. DON'T add national or service flags, per WP:FLAGICON
for more users, limit to three in total; list using {{plainlist}} or {{unbulleted list}}

proposals

any proposals for the aircrafts or careers in the specific program, that were not accepted or built.

prototypes

any prototype versions of the aircraft that were built.

aircraft_carried

type of aircraft carried, usually only for mothership aircraft
Developed_from
The (linked article) this aircraft design was developed from
Developed_into
any (separate articles) this aircraft type was developed into
Variations
variants with their own articles

Aircraft career parameters - for specific aircraft not general types

Type
What this particular aircraft is an example off eg Enola Gay is a Boeing B-29 Superfortress
Unique aircraft will not need this parameter

owners

the individuals or organizations that own, manage or uses the aircraft.

civil_registration

the registration number assigned to the aircraft for civilian use.

military_serial

the serial number assigned to the aircraft for military use

radio_code

military radio codes where this is a commonly-used way of identifying this aircraft (eg. US, British, and German military aircraft of WWII)
first flight
date of first flight
last flight
date of last flight

flights

number of flights made by this aircraft, usually only relevant for an aircraft no longer flying

total_hours

the total number of hours the aircraft has flown

total_distance

the total distance the aircraft has flown
fate
fate/disposition of this aircraft
preservation
where this aircraft is currently preserved (if it is)
