This is a documentation subpage for ഫലകം:Infobox aircraft type.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original ഫലകം page.

This template is used on approximately 8,600 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

Usage

This aircraft type template does not function alone; it must follow {{Infobox aircraft begin}}, which is included below.

This template provides general data on types (and subtypes) of aircraft, but not technical specifications. It is built in a modular fashion allowing it to be combined with other infoboxes, in particular, {{Infobox aircraft career}}.

{{Infobox aircraft begin}}, this template, (and {{Infobox aircraft career}}, if applicable) must be enclosed by {| and |} that enclose a wiki-table (see Help:Table).

Examples

For an article on an aircraft type, use:

{|{{Infobox aircraft begin |parameters go here }}{{Infobox aircraft type |parameters go here }} |}

For a case where the only example built of a particular aircraft type also had an individually noteworthy career (e.g., Spirit of St. Louis, use:

{|{{Infobox aircraft begin |parameters go here }}{{Inbobox aircraft type |parameters go here }}{{Inbobox aircraft career |parameters go here }} |}

Parameters

name: The subject of the article. When naming aircraft and engines, 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; e.g. "Boeing 707".
image: In the format filename.xxx format with no image or file tags
size: Allows for the specification of image size; default is 250px.
alt: Alt text for the image, for readers who cannot see the image. Please see WP:ALT for details.
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.
type: The aircraft's role, e.g. airliner, military trainer aircraft, Agricultural aircraft
national origin: The country where the aircraft was first manufactured. Use the main nation (e.g. UK), not constituent country (England); don't use "EU". 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: The firm which manufactures the aircraft.
builder: The group that only manufactures the aircraft, but is not responsible for design of the aircraft.
design group: The design group(s) that designed the aircraft. Do not list if same as the manufacturer.
designer: The person who designed the aircraft. Only appropriate for one-person designers, not project leaders or chief designers.
first flight: The date that the aircraft first flew. If this hasn't happened, skip this field - do not speculate.
introduced: Date the aircraft entered military or revenue service
introduction: Planned date the aircraft will enter military or revenue service
retired: Date the aircraft left military or revenue service. If vague or more than a few dates, skip this
status: Status of the programme, e.g. "Prototypes only", "Abandoned project". In most cases, redundant; use sparingly
primary user: list only one user; for military aircraft, this is a nation or a service arm. Please DON'T add those tiny flags, as they limit horizontal space.
more users: Limited to three in total; list using {{plainlist}} or {{unbulleted list}}
produced: Years in production (e.g. 1970-1999) if still in active use but no longer built
number built: Number of flight capable aircraft completed, for aircraft under development or still in production only those aircraft that have flown should be included. Do not include ground test airframes in this infobox although if notable can be included in the article text.
program cost: Total program cost
unit cost: Incremental or flyaway cost for military or retail price for commercial aircraft.
developed from: The aircraft which formed the basis for this aircraft.
variants with their own articles: Variants OF this aircraft
developed into: For derivative aircraft based on this aircraft, that are not variants.
