Very easily recognisable characteristics of this single jet fighter are the oval, smile-like air intake below the fuselage and the blended wing-fuselage attachment. The F-16 has a bubble canopy with one bow frame, behind the seat. This is how to distinguish it from the Mitsubishi F-2.
This family of amphibian aircraft has a single hull integrated with the fuselage. The centre float extends in front of the main fuselage and radial or inline piston engine. Typical is the empenage: the horizontal stabilisers are attached to a rounded rectangular dorsal fin, ahead of the rudder. The single wheel main landing gear is retractable in the sides of the float.
On the photo is the L450F piloted version of the XQM-93 drone aircraft with a turboprop engine in the nose, long slender wings and a fixed gear with all legs close to each other. The XQM-93 has no canopy.
A VSTOL research aircraft of which the short wings could tilt 90 degrees so that the four large propellers would generate lift. Has a very box-like fuselage. Each landing gear has two wheels.
The original EM-11 looks like a Partenavia P.68 with piston engines in the trailing edge, driving pusher propellers. The cockpit windows are large. It has a fixed gear with streamline covers, and low mounted horizontal stabilisers. An intermediate version has a retractable gear and a cruciform tail. The production version shown here has in addition a T-tail, but retains the basic appearance.
The Martin 2-0-2 and 4-0-4 look quite similar to the Convairliner; both have a curved vertical stabiliser and rectangular cabin windows. The Martins have a sideways opening cabin door though, more dihedral on the outer wings and no main gear doors visible when the gear is extended. Finally, they have an airstair door underneath the rear fuselage.
This mid-size bomber has quite a slender look thanks to a narrow fuselage and long, transparent nose. Under the wings are long nacelles with radial engines and a place to store the single wheel main landing gear.
This was a lifting body research vehicle, derived from the X-24A. It has a pointed nose and four vertical fins. The flat bottom has the shape of a double delta, but you can hardly call them wings.
The Broussard is a sort of French DHC-2 Beaver, but then with an H-tail. The vertical fins almost only point up. Also the aircraft has large rectangular cabin windows.
The iconic Phantom II has at least three distinctive features: the outer wings pointing a bit up (due to the larger dihedral), the long narrow air intakes and horizontal stabilisers with a significant anhedral (pointing down).
