Template:Infobox aircraft/styles.css (sandbox)

{{Infobox aircraft}} is used to produce an infobox for aircraft and other related aeronautical topics including aircraft types and programs, individual aircraft and their careers, and aircraft engines. It may be used to display general characteristics and features of the item, along with manufacturing details and history as appropriate.

Some parameters in the Infobox are only intended for specific classes of topic and are not recommended for use with the other kinds. If there is already a section discussing the specifications of the aeronautical item, the inclusion of specifications and performance parameters in the Infobox should be skipped.

Migration from Infobox aircraft begin

Following this discussion initiated on 22 January 2023 at Templates for discussion, {{Infobox aircraft begin}}, {{Infobox aircraft type}}, {{Infobox aircraft career}}, and {{Infobox aircraft program}} were merged into this template.

Parameters

General parameters

name: The subject of the article. When naming aircraft, please do not repeat the name of the manufacturer unless the name would be otherwise ambiguous. For example, "P-51 Mustang" does not need to have "North American" in front of it: the aircraft name is unambiguous and the manufacturer will be stated just a few lines down in the Type Infobox. Some exceptions exist, such as aircraft which only have model numbers, eg. "Boeing 707".
logo: In the format filename.xxx format with or without 'File:' tag
logo_size: Allows for the specification of logo size. default is 210px.
logo_border: set to yes to a thin border to the logo
logo_alt: Alt text for the image, for readers who cannot see the logo. Please see WP:ALT for details.
image: In the format filename.xxx format with or without 'File:' tag
size or image_size: Allows for the specification of image size. default is 300px.
alt: Alt text for the image, for readers who cannot see the image. Please see WP:ALT for details.
image_border: set to yes to add a thin border to the image
caption or image_caption: A short (one- or two-line) caption for the image. If it isn't descriptive, then please skip it. "Boeing 747" or "Boeing 747 in flight" should be patently obvious from the context and does not need to be captioned. "A Qantas Airlines Boeing 747-400 at Heathrow Airport in 2006" is an example of a useful caption. Captions will appeared centred in the infobox.
long_caption: A longer (multi-line), more detailed caption may be desirable from time to time. Long captions will appear left-justified in the infobox. Won't display if caption is defined.
other_names: Any alternative names the particular aircraft (nicknames, nose art names) or program may have.
- Examples: "Spruce Goose" Super Jumbo, Joint Strike Fighter, Tomcat, Eagle, Dreamliner
aircraft_role: The aircraft's role, e.g. airliner, military trainer aircraft, Agricultural aircraft
national_origin: The country where the aircraft or program was manufactured or initiated. List collaborative programs of only 2 or 3 nations for more than 3, use "Multi-national". For licensed aircraft with a separate article, include both the originating country and the licensee country for simple variants and developments. The originating country may be omitted if it is a derivative design.
manufacturer or manufacturers: The company or companies responsible for designing and building the aircraft.
design_group: The name of the group(s) that designed the aeronautical item. Do not list if same as the manufacturer.
designer: The person who designed the aircraft or led the design. Not appropriate for company chief designers, project leaders, teams, etc. unless they led the actual engineering design.
builder: The group that only builds the aeronautical product, but is not responsible for design of it.
issuer: The government agency or other authority that issued the design and/or production contract for the aircraft or program.Examples: United States Air Force, NASA, European Space Agency, Ministry of Defense (Russia)
status: Status of the program, e.g. "Prototypes only", "Abandoned project". In most cases, redundant; use sparingly
primary_user: The primary user of the civilian aircraft list only one user. Do not use for individual aircraft
- Examples: Lufthansa, Air Canada, United Airlines
more_users: Limited to three (3) "more users" here (4 total users). List users with {{plainlist}} or {{unbulleted list}}.
service: The branches of the military that have operated the aircraft or program. When a service itself issues the requirement, this field is redundant, do not use it under these circumstances. Do not add national or service flags, per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Icons#Flags.
- For more users, limit to three in total and list using {{plainlist}} or {{unbulleted list}}
- Examples: United States Air Force, United States Navy
proposals: Any proposals for the aircraft or careers in the specific program, that were not accepted or built.
prototypes: Any prototype versions of the aircraft that were built or prototypes evaluated for the program.
- Example: Northrop YF-17
number_built: The total number of the aircraft or aircraft engine built

developed_into: Any (separate articles) this aircraft type was developed into
- Use successors instead for aircraft programs
variants or related: Variants of this aircraft with their own articles or related programs for aircraft programs
notes: Any additional notes

Particular aircraft parameters

aircraft_type: What this particular aircraft is an example off. For example, Enola Gay is a Boeing B-29 Superfortress
- Unique aircraft will not need this parameter
owners: The individuals or organizations that own, manage or uses the aircraft.
civil_registration: The registration number assigned to the aircraft for civilian use.
military_serial: The serial number assigned to the aircraft for military use
radio_code: Military radio codes where this is a commonly-used way of identifying this aircraft (eg. US, British, and German military aircraft of WWII)

flights: Number of flights made by this aircraft, usually only relevant for an aircraft no longer flying
total_hours: The total number of hours the aircraft has flown
total_distance: The total distance the aircraft has flown
fate: Fate/disposition of this aircraft
preservation: Where this aircraft is currently preserved (if it is)

Aircraft program parameters

- Example: All-weather naval air-superiority fighter
requirement: a formal name or a number for the requirement.
- Examples: OR.229, Advanced Tactical Fighter Statement of Operational Need
initiated: the date that the program was initiated
concluded: the date that the program was concluded (whatever the outcome)
expected: the expected or anticipated result; or what is regarded as likely
outcome: the outcome of the program. Examples:

- program abandoned due to budget cuts
- program merged with TFX Program
