Identify by airplane characteristics

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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. 

General Dynamics F-111

The F-111 has variable sweep wings placed on top of the fuselage. The air intakes below it have the shape of quarter circles. The canopy is flush with the top of the fuselage. Finally, the main landing is rather short and has single wheels; the nose gear has two.

The basic features of the original F-16 like the tail, air intake and canopy are still recognisable, but this version has large delta wings, similar to those on the Saab Draken, and no horizontal stabilisers. (photo: WikiMedia)

The GA8 & GA10 Airvan is similar to the Galiván 358M and Explorer 350R, with a square fuselage, a large nearly triangular vertical stabiliser and small dorsal fin.  Look at the vertical tail (and also main gear) to keep then apart.

Globe GC-1 Swift

This all metal private aircraft has a canopy with glass all around, including the top, as main feature. Moreover, it has a retractable main gear, but fixed tail gear, and is power by a horizontally opposed piston engine. 

Gloster Meteor

United Kingdom's first operational jet fighter has a typical location of the two engines: they are in the wings, with the wings seemingly going straight through the long nacelles. 

Grob G120

The big canopy is the main recognition point of the Grob G120. For the rest the retractable gear and vertical stabiliser with straight edges and no dorsal fin may help identification. Under the rear fuse­lage is a single ventral fin.

Small bizjet that looks a bit like the Cessna Citation Excel, but then with slightly swept wings, winglets and cockpit windows similar to the HondaJet. Only a couple were built.

The Intruder has a wide fuselage with side-by-side cockpit. The long, narrow air intakes are at the sides of the fuselage, slightly tilted and in front of the canopy. They feed two engines at the bottom of the fuselage, with exhausts below and just after the wings. The rear fuselage is rather slender, ending in a conventional tail with a trapezium shaped vertical stabiliser.

Grumman Albatross

The biggest of the Grumman amphibians is the Albatross. Compared to the similar shaped, but smaller Mallard it has six curved cockpit windows and a larger diameter fuselage. The standard power­plants are two radial engines in the wing's leading edge.

Grumman AO-1/OV-1 Mohawk

The Grumman Mohawk is a twin-turboprop observation and attack aircraft. Apart from the three fin tail and mid fuselage wing attachment, the cockpit seems to have traces of the S-2 Tracker.
