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.
Hongdu L-15
The Chinese looked at Yakovlev for support in developing a new advanced jet trainer. Hence it is no surpise that it is a Yak-130 look-a-like. The main differences compared to the M346 and Yak-130 are the exhausts that extend beyond the tail, and the bigger main landing gear doors. (photo: Xu Zheng/WikiMedia)
Howard DGA-15
The front of the Howard DGA-15 looks a bit like that of the DHC-2, including the gear struts. The high placed wings are braced by two struts and have rounded tips. A key feature is the tall vertical fin with rounded top and rudder from below this top to beyond the tail cone.
The stubby fuselage with small bean shaped air intakes in the wing roots, at the side of the fuselage, and trapezium tail are the key features of this jet training aircraft. All versions have a side-by-side canopy on top of the fuselage, that slides back to open. The Strikemaster is the light attack version.
IAI Lavi
The Lavi can be described as a two-seat F-16 with delta wings, and canards instead of conventional horizontal stabilisers. It also has two large ventral fins. For the rest the resemblance is large, up to the oval shape of the air intake underneath the fuselage. (photo: Israeli Air Force/WikiMedia)
Based on the Westwind Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI) developed the model 1125 Astra, with the wings under the fuselage instead of straight through it. For the rest the Westwind and Astra are quite similar in appearance. The Gulfstream G150 is an Astra with a redesigned fuselage.
Even if you have difficulty recognising bizjets, you will notice that the IAI Galaxy/G200 sits fairly close to the ground. Especially the nose gear leg is relatively short. Other features include oval cabin windows, an inlet in the dorsal fin and large fairings for the thrust reversers extending from the rear of the engine nacelles.
IAR-99
This Romanian jet trainer looks like a mix between the BAe Hawk and MB339. Look especially for the dorsal fin, small, nearly rectangular air intakes, and the long nose gear doors. (photo Cătălin Cocîrlă/WikiMedia)
Ikarus S-49
With its liquid cooled piston engine the Ikarus S-49 is similar to the Yak fighters of the 1940s. It has slightly tapered wings with rounded tips and a main gear that retracts inward in the wings. The bubble canopy has two main frames. The vertical stabiliser is a non-swept, rounded trapezium, with horizontal stabilisers at the base, just above the fuselage.
Ikarus S451
Two inline piston engines with big two blade propellers dominate the appearance of the Ikarus S451. The fuselage with a glass nose is recessed with respect to the engines and the straight wings are relatively small.
Ikarus S451M
This small twin jet has the engines in pods under the wings, not often seen on airplanes of this size. Other recognition points of the S451M are the pointed probe on the nose, the gun under the nose and the main gear doors that follow the gear shape.
