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.
Myasishchev M-55 Geophysica
The M-55 is the twin engine version of the M-17 Stratosphera, but has the same basic configuration: high mounted, straight wings with a large span, and two tail booms each holding a T-tail connected via the horizontal stabiliser.
Nakajima J1N Gekko
The J1N is characterised by a slender fuselage with a heavily framed tandem canopy popping out. Some versions, not the one shown, have two turrets aft of this canopy. The nacelles of the radial piston engines are mostly below the wings. Single wheel main landing gears retract rearward in them. The clean wings and stabilisers all have rounded tips.
Nakajima Ki-43
The Japanese land-based counterpart of the famous Mitsubishi A6M Zero has a similar appearance. It has a narrower, but still framed bubble canopy. Typical are the long, narrow main landing gear legs, retracting inward in the wings. The wheels are on the outside of the struts. Only the struts are covered by gear doors, not the wheels.
NAL Asuka
The Asuka can be described as a Kawasaki C-1, from which it was indeed derived, with four engines on top of the wings, in the style of the Antonov An-72. The four wheel main gear is attached to the fuselage. It is a one-off research aircraft.
The first Japanese passenger aircraft developed after World War II is similar in appearance as in particular the Hawker-Siddeley 748, but also the British Aerospace ATP. The differences are in the details so look at the photos!
Nanchang CJ6
Often confused with the Yak-52, the CJ6 is indeed developed from that aircraft. The tandem canopy, radial piston engine and general layout are similar, but the vertical fin has a forward swept trailing edge, and the main gear retracts inward in the wings completely.
Nanchang Q-5 Fantan
This Chinese fighter is a heavily modified MiG-19. Its nose has been replaced by a pointed one, and it has long D-shaped ones at the side of the fuselage. For the rest it is externally very similar to the MiG, in particular the shape of the exhausts. (photo: Faisal Akram/WikiMediaFaisal Akram/WikiMedia)
Naval Aircraft Factory N3N
Lesser known than Stearman the N3N was a basic trainer in WW2 as well. Typical recognition points are a cruciform tail, with the horizontal stabilisers placed close to the fuselage though, and the nose being curved inward just behind the uncovered radial piston engine.
Neiva N-591
This Brazilian look-a-like of the Cessna 172 has a shorter fuselage than its more famous competitor; especially the part aft of the cabin is shorter. The N-591 also has a taller, less swept vertical stabiliser.
Neiva N-621 Universal
Brazil’s primary training aircraft has a wide canopy with multiple frames under which pilot and instructor sit next to each other. The aircraft has a trapezium vertical fin that is about as wide as it is tall. Typical is the spoon shaped nose gear door.
