The Il-76 is of similar size as the C-17 Globemaster III and the Xian Y-20. However, it is the only aircraft with a partially glass nose, four wheels on a single axis on all gears and a large bullet fairing in the tail, which makes identification easy.
This can be regarded as the Russian Airbus A340, as the resemblance is quite large. You have to look at small differences in cockpit windows, engine nacelles, vertical tail, winglets and landing gear. The Il-86 is more easily recognisable by the lack of winglets and the typical fan exhausts of the jet engines.
The N219 is characterised by a cruciform tail with a dorsal fin, four streamlined cockpit windows, a fixed landing gear with single wheels (with the main gewar attached to small stubs) and no wing struts. (photo WikiMedia/LAPAN)
The N250 is an ATR42 look-a-like that was built upon the CN235. The Indonesian aircraft can best be distinguished by the oval cabin windows and vertical stabiliser with a "normal" dorsal fin. (photo WikiMedia/Eka viation)
Like the Comac C919 the MC-21 can be seen as a clone of the A320. The difference with the C919 is clear, as the Chinese aircraft has four cockpit windows and the MC-21 six. To distinguish the MC-21 from the A320 it is best to look at the wingtips. For now the MC-21 has no winglets.
The ST50 is a single engine turboprop aircraft with the engine in the rear fuselage, driving a pusher propeller. It also has a horizontal and vertical stabiliser in a true crucifix shape, with the horizontal stabiliser mounted to the rear fuselage.
The heritage of the Aero Commander 500/680 is clearly visible in the Jet Commander/Westwind, in particular in the tail, fuselage cross section and cockpit windows. In addition the aircraft has straight wings right through the middle of the fuselage. Hence the fuselage is close to the ground.
What the Dakota was for the Allied powers, the Ju52/3m was for the Germans during World War II. The aircraft is especially distinguished by the typical Junkers corrugated metal fuselage and wings. Furthermore, it has a fixed tail wheel landing gear. The aircraft was license built in Spain by CASA and in France by Amiot.
Dive bombing was the main task of this inverted gull wing aircraft, of which the outer wings are tapered. The Ju87 'Stuka' has a fixed gear with streamline covers for the main gear. It is powered by a liquid cooled piston engine with cooler underneath the nose.
The multi-framed cockpit and nose windows coupled to a rather narrow fuselage may remind you of a dragonfly insect. The Ju88 has only one set of wings however, going through the lower part of the fuselage. The aircraft has radial engines in nacelles under the wings.
