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. 

The Soviet counterpart of the Lockheed Electra and Vickers Viscount turboprop airliners has round cabin windows and many cockpit windows, including six eyebrow windows (two on the front and two on each side). The main gear legs have four wheels each. There are also many special mission versions of the aircraft, with all sorts of antennas, bulges and booms.

Ilyushin Il-2 & Il-10

Typical for this antitank aircraft, one of the most built aircraft in the world, is the landing gear that retracts rearward in pods under the wings. Furthermore, the Il-2 has a flat panel canopy with al around views on top of the fuselage. It is powered by a liquid cooled piston engine.

Ilyushin Il-28/Avia B-228/Harbin H-5

The first generation Soviet jet bomber has two engines under the wings in long nacelles in which the main gear retracts. Also the aircraft has both a bubble canopy and a glass nose or "normal" cockpit windows (trainer version).

Though there are only two aircraft types with a T-tail and four jet engines attached to the rear fuselage in pairs, the differences are surprisingly small. The Il-62 has a large bullet fairing at the top of the vertical stabiliser. Also it has four eyebrow windows on each side, and an additional tail gear that is lowered during (un)loading.

The Il-76 is of similar size as the C-17 Globemaster III and the Xian Y-20. However, it is the only aircraft with a partially glass nose, four wheels on a single axis on all gears and a large bullet fairing in the tail, which makes identification easy.

This can be regarded as the Russian Airbus A340, as the resemblance is quite large. You have to look at small differences in cockpit windows, engine nacelles, vertical tail, winglets and landing gear. The Il-86 is more easily recognisable by the lack of winglets and the typical fan exhausts of the jet engines.

The I.Ae 22 DL is essentially an early version of the North American T-6 Texan, with a retractable gear, wooden skin, rounded rudder and constant dihedral wings. Also, the nose is slightly longer and the exhaust is close to the front of the cowling. (photo: Aeroprints.com/WikiMedia)

IPTN N219

The N219 is characterised by a cruciform tail with a dorsal fin, four streamlined cockpit windows, a fixed landing gear with single wheels (with the main gewar attached to small stubs) and no wing struts. (photo WikiMedia/LAPAN)

IPTN N250

The N250 is an ATR42 look-a-like that was built upon the CN235. The Indonesian aircraft can best be distinguished by the oval cabin windows and vertical stabiliser with a "normal" dorsal fin. (photo WikiMedia/Eka viation)

The ST50 is a single engine turboprop aircraft with the engine in the rear fuse­lage, driving a pusher propeller. It also has a horizontal and vertical stabiliser in a true crucifix shape, with the horizontal stabiliser mounted to the rear fuselage.
