Below check the specific characteristics of the aircraft you are looking for. You can select multiple items for each characteristic. The results will be filtered automatically.
The Chipmunk is characterised by the inline engine with pistons at the bottom, resulting in a typical narrow cowling, a tandem multiframed bubble canopy and a vertical stabiliser that is the half of an oval standing right up.
The Beaver has multiple appearances, but is often characterised by a trapezium shape cabin window on each side, and a triangular vertical stabiliser with curved corners and a small dorsal fin. Conversions may give it a different appearance though, but the general shape remains.
This large bushplane is characterised by a cruciform tail of which the vertical stabiliser is curved from the dorsal fin over the top to the tail cone. The cabin windows are nearly square with rounded corners.
The Caribou tactical transport aircraft has a rear fuselage sloping up strongly to facilitate rear loading. Above is a nearly rectangular vertical stabiliser. The landing gear retracts forward in the engine nacelles.
The Buffalo can be regarded as a Caribou with turboprop engines and a T-tail. For the rest they are similar in appearance: the fuselage with a sloped up rear, nose and cockpit, and gear retracting in the nacelles.
The Twin Otter has the fuselage and wings of the DHC-3 Otter, mated with two turboprop engines in the wing's leading edge, a fixed nose wheel landing gear and a nearly rectangular cruciform tail.
The Dash Seven commuter aircraft has a T-tail, four turboprop engines under the wings and a main landing gear retracting forward in the inner nacelles. Together, they give it a unique appearance.
The Dash 8 series has four main versions, of which the longest is shown on the photo above. A clear recognition point are the cockpit windows, which look much like those on the Canadair Challenger, Canadair Regional Jets and Bombardier Global series.
deHavilland DH104 Dove
The cockpit popping out of the front fuselage is one of the main characteristics of the twin prop aircraft. Other features are the rectangular cabin windows with rounded corners, and main gear retracting outward in the wings. Normally the vertical stabiliser is curved from the dorsal fin to the tail cone, but there are conversions with a different tail.
deHavilland DH106 Comet
The world's first jet airliner can be recognised by the four jet engines in the wing roots, the nearly straight vertical stabiliser and the main landing gear retracting outward in the wings. It has a circular cross section fuselage.
