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. 

Soko 522

Soko’s model 522 tandem seat trainer has a radial piston engine with a cowling around it. This cowling is extended at the bottom with a cooling intake, giving the airplane a smile when seen from the front. The wings have a slight inverted gull shape. 

Soko G-2 Galeb

The basic appearance, straight wings with tip tanks are like that of the Aermacchi MB326, but for the rest it is significantly different. The landing gear retracts inward, the air intakes have a long D-shape and the canopy has three frames, giving it two separately opening parts. Also has a single seat version, the J-21 Jastreb.

Soko G-4 Super Galeb

The Super Galeb is similar to the BAe Hawk, including having horizontal stabilisers with anhedral and swept wings. The leading edge of the vertical stabiliser is not as curved though. Also the forward part of the canopy consists of a front and two side panels. 

Soko J-20 Kraguj

Unusually, the Soko Kraguj is a single seat aircraft, which often don’t have this basic appearance. The pilot sits under a bubble canopy. The airplane can be fitted with underwing pylons to store weapons. Typical are the two long exhausts under the front fuselage. 

Soko J-22 Orao/IAR-93 Vultur

The Orao is a twin engined fighter of similar appearance to the Jaguar, in particular the double wheel, claw-like main landing gear and nearly square air intakes in front of the wing roots. The exhausts are at the very rear of the fuselage though. Also, it has a single wheel nose gear. 

Sopwith Camel

The upper and lower wings of the Camel have the same span, but the lower wings have dihedral while the upper ones have none. There are double  struts between the outer wings, supplemented by four struts in V shape between the front fuselage and upper wings. The aircraft has a rotary piston engine with cowling.

Sopwith Triplane

The Sopwith Triplane has three wings of equal span, that are braced by single struts near the wingtips. The upper and middle wings are braced by two parallel struts to the fuselage, in front the canopy. Furthermore, many wires further support the wings. The Triplane has a rotary piston engine with cowling. 

SPAD S.VII

This WWI fighter has non-staggered, equal width wings with the upper wings close to the fuselage (but still parasol wings). The radial engine is normally fully enclosed by a cowling. The vertical stabiliser has a low triangle shape with a rounded top.

Stampe SV4

While much less Stampe SV4s were built, it is easily confused with the similar DH82 Tiger Moth. The vertical fin of the SV4 is not really triangular (so it appears not swept) and its wings have rounded tips. 

Stearman (Boeing) 75 (PT-13/PT-17/N2S)

This primary trainer has a radial engine up front, sometimes enclosed with a cowling, but often open. The main gear has single, streamlined struts. Finally, the vertical stabiliser has a rounded triangular shape, with a forward swept trailing edge.
