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.
Most Navions have a backward sliding canopy with a long triangular side window and a straight trapezium shaped vertical stabiliser as main recognition points (like shown here), although the window configuration may differ between models. The gear is retractable, with the main gear retracting inward in the wings.
Although the main construction of this plane is from tubes covered with canvas, the engine cowling with protruding pistons is made of metal with many dents, typical for Ryan airplanes. Also typical for the B-1 are the cockpit windows spread as a fan around the front.
The Ryan ST series are training aircraft with low braced wing and open, tandem cockpits. It can have an inline or radial piston engine. The horizontal stabilisers together form an oval and are braced to the vertical stabiliser.
The Vertifan is a vertical take-off and landing aircraft that has two jet engines in the rear fuselage, fed from an air intake on top of the fuselage, behind the side-by-side cockpit. In the wings and in the nose are lift fans, powered by small jet engines.
This small delta wing equipped aircraft could take-off and land vertically on its tail. Therefore its has no landing gear. Other features are a relatively large trianguilar vertical stabiliser and small fins at the wing tips.
Saab's basic jet trainer has a side-by-side cockpit, high wings with a very modest sweep angle and a T-tail, which makes it stand out compared to other jet trainers. The engines are directly attached to each side of the rear fuselage, underneath the wings.
Being the development aircraft for the double delta wings of the Saab 35 Draken, they have the same basic shape. The Saab 210 is smaller though and has a bubble canopy.
Typical for the Saab Lansen fighter are the air intakes which are similar to those of the Lockheed P-80 and T-33. The Saab has swept wings though, swept vertical stabiliser and a short, two seat cockpit.
The Saab commuter aircraft have a very conventional configuration. To distinguish them from similar aircraft look for the four cockpit windows and horizontal stabilisers with significant dihedral.
The Saab Draken has such a unique design that it is easily recognised. The double delta wings with air intakes in the wing roots close to the fuselage cannot be found on any other airplane, except the Saab 210 development prototype.
