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.
PZL TS-11 Iskra
The Polish Iskra jet trainer has two rectangular air intakes in front of the wings, just below the roots, leading to a single jet engine in the middle of the fuselage. The exhaust is under the fuselage, well before the cruciform tail.
PZL TS-8 Bies
The PZL TS-8 Bies has inner wings with anhedral and outer wings with dihedral, so inverted gull wings. The retractable main gears are placed at the lowest point. It is powered by a radial piston engines, of which the pistons are not visible, the front of the engine being covered. The tail is a non-swept trapezium with horizontal stabilisers at the base.
In between the many high performance (turbo)prop training aircraft the PZL130 stands out due to its small size. The vertical stabiliser starts almost directly behind the tandem canopy. This fin has a curved leading edge on most versions, extending all the way to the trailing edge.
Quiet Short-Haul Research Aircraft
Under supervision of NASA a DHC-5 Buffalo was modified as Quiet Short-Haul Research Aircraft (QSRA). It has four jet engines on top of the wings, but for the rest it still resembles a Buffalo, including the long main landing attached to the wings. (photo NASA/WikiMedia)
Having a stand-up cabin in a light business jet means that the aircraft has a “fat” appearance. Moreover, the Premier has a long nose and comparatively small engines. Also the blunt, CRJ like tailcone is a clear recognition point.
The Hawker 4000 looks very much like the Cessna 700 Citation Longitude and the Embraer Legacy 450/500. Compared to both aircraft the Hawker 4000 has no winglets, but has large external fairings for the thrust reversers. The four cockpit windows are clearly derived from the BAe125 Series 800/1000.
Reims/Cessna F406 Caravan II
Based on the Cessna 404 Reims Aircraft of France developed the Caravan II, which is basically a Cessna 404 with turboprops. It also has a more blunt nose, which makes it look like a Cessna 441. However, the horizontal stabiliser is attached to the vertical stabiliser, making it a cruciform tail.
The air intakes of the F-105 are its key feature: they are in the extended wings roots and forward swept, so you don't see them when you view the airplane from the side. For the rest the rather narrow vertical fin placed ahead of the exhaust is typical.
Republic F-84 Thunderflash
The Thunderflash is the reconnaisance version of the Thunderstreak, with photo cameras in the nose. This necessitated the air intake to be moved to the wing roots. These nearly triangular air intakes give the Thunderflash a different appearance than the Thunderstreak, although they look the same in other aspects.
Republic F-84 Thunderjet
The Thunderjet was one of the first generation American fighter aircraft. It has an air intake in the nose, big tip tanks and a rounded top of the vertical stabiliser. The fuselage is notably thicker near the cockpit than at the end.
