Identify by airplane characteristics

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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. 

Grumman Widgeon

The Widgeon is about the same size as the Goose, so a mix-up is imaginable, especially considering that there are many engine modifications. Normally the G.44 has non-radial piston engines. The Widgeon has three cockpit windows of which the front one is curved. The cabin windows have long rectangle shapes.

The G280 is basically a Gulfstream G200 with a T-tail. Especially the short landing gear legs inherited from its predecessor make the G280 easy to recognise from other aircraft in this category, as do the many oval cabin windows.

All large cabin business jets designed and built first by Grumman and now by Gulfstream Aerospace have large oval cabin windows in landscape orientation. This is the main recognition point.

Gulfstream Peregrine/Commander Fanjet 1500

This single-engine jet was developed from the Gulfstream Peregrine 600 jet trainer and Hustler turboprop/jet executive aircraft. It retains from both aircraft the air intake on top of the fuselage, in front of the vertical stabiliser. Very typical are the winglets pointing down.

HAL HTT-40

The nose shape of the HTT-40 and in particular the two exhausts at either lower side of it, remind much of the Shorts Tucano. The canopy has three frames and the highest point is at the second frame. The nose gear has two wheels and main gear single wheels that are placed at the inside of the legs. (photo: Government of India/WikiMedia)

Handley-Page (Dart) Herald

Two aspects of this aircraft make it very easy to recognise. It has both a cockpit that slightly pops out of the fuselage and a large vertical stabiliser with corrugated sheet metal. The original version has four piston engines, while the Dart Herald has two turboprop engines.

Handley-Page Halifax

The Halifax bomber has an H-tail and a big single wheel main gear like the Avro Lancaster, but has radial engines, a more rounded nose and small cockpit windows.

Hanriot HD.1

The Hanriot HD-1 has slightly wider upper wings than lower wings, which are connected by two outward oand forward tilted struts. The radial piston engine is directly in front of the wings. The vertical stabiliser has a typical elliptical shape.

Harbin Y-12

The Harbin Y-12 has the same basic configuration as the DHC-6 although with a horizontal stabiliser attached to the fuselage instead of the vertical fin. Also, the Harbin aircraft has a large dorsal fin, a ventral fin, and large landscape oriented cabin windows. (photo WikiMedia/Shahram Sharifi - Iranian Spotters)

Hawker (Sea) Fury

The Hawker Fury and Sea Fury have a bubble canopy, a radial engine with prop spinner and a tall elliptical vertical stabi­liser as main recognition points. The inner wings have no hedral, while the outer wings have dihedral. The main landing gear retracts inward in the wings.
