Identify by airplane characteristics

Key features of the Robin are the low vertical stabiliser and tall, triangular cockpit side window that runs until the floor. Most versions have a radial piston engine, but some have another type.

The Kodiak is a Cessna Caravan look-a-like with its high wings, fixed single wheel gear and turboprop engine in the nose. The rear fuselage of the Kodiak tapers quickly, giving it a "stubby" appea­rance. It has a large vertical tail with a slightly swept trailing edge. The air intake is below the spin­ner and the engine has two exhausts on each side of the nose.

The SOCATA (now Daher) TBM-700 was the first high speed single engine turbo­prop aircraft on the market. Now it shares it with the PA-46 series, Epic LT, Kestrel JP10 and more, which all have the same general appearance. You can best keep them apart by looking at the cockpit windows, cabin windows and engine cowlings.

The swept wings of this French fighter family pass through the fuselage between the middle and the bottom of the fuselage. It has an air intake in the nose and a typical cruciform tail with swept horizontal stabilisers. (photo: Mike Freer - Touchdown-aviation/WikiMedia)

Dassault's carrier-based fighter family is one of the few fighters with a cruciform tail. For the rest the (Super) Etendard looks a bit like the Mirages, but then with swept wings and no semi-circular shock cones in the air intakes.

The baby jet of Dassault is a smaller version of the Falcon 20 with different cockpit windows (but still six), a single wheel nose gear and three or four cabin windows on each side.

The general characteristics of the Falcon 20 are the large cockpit windows, large oval cabin windows and cruciform tail with the horizontal stabilizer in a V-shape (with a significant dihedral), about halfway the vertical fin.

The Falcon 2000 roughly resulted from removing the middle engine from the Falcon 900. This creates a funny tail cone: it is slightly turned up. It is also easily recognisable from other aircraft due to its cruciform tail with a significant anhedral on the horizontal stabiliser.

The Falcon 50 was the first aircraft with the typical Dassault trijet configuration: three jet engines at the rear fuselage and a horizontal stabiliser attached to the lower part of the vertical stabiliser with a significant anhedral. It has the large oval windows of the Falcon 20.

The Falcon 5X and 6X are Dassault's flagship models, about the size of a Global or Gulfstream. Its basic configuration is similar to that of the Falcon 2000, so with low swept wings and a cruciform tail. It has four cockpit windows a w typical taper, horizontal stabilisers with a slight dihedral and smaller winglets.
